Gas meter replacement?
Hi, Just had an email out of the blue from our supplier, Flow Energy, saying we need to provide a time for them to replace our gas meter. Is this something that is done at a set interval of time? I've never had this before so was just a bit surprised. Thanks.

Need help with FIT tariff calculation
Hello, I've had my first FIT payment and it doesn't look right to me. Installation is 3.9KW and installed on 20/2/14, so I'm expecting 14.9p FIT and 4.64p export at 50%. Those figure were confirmed by 4 salespeople/surveyors so I think they are right. Generation has been 1037.53 over 3 months (yippee). I was expecting…

Switched via MSE Energy Club - Not Too Happy
Switched using MSE Energy Club and I can't say it's turned out to be a good thing. Right now, I owe £161 to my Gas and I've never known bills like this with Marks and Spencer Energy/SSE in my life. I went through my bills and used the kwh (as advised for best) and so I really don't understand this at all. In the last 4…

Energy switching fun and games
Almost laughable this. Will avoid naming companies for now. I switched suppliers recently and received a bill from my old supplier showing an estimated final reading (which is effectively £70 more than I should be paying) That's odd I thought - I'm sure I told both the old and new supplier what the meter reads were on the…

I changed energy supplier to EDF in 2011 The change went smoothly After a few months of billing me for gas and electricity they stopped billing me for gas - although they still took the payments and I still sent in the readings. I told them they were making a mistake but 'computer said I was wrong' and all was in order.…

Cavity wall sense at last.
After been told for years that I couldn't get free cavity wall insulation because the installers were frightened to climb on my garage roof without £500 scaffolding that I had to pay for, a company has now said that they will now install the cavity wall insulation without additional cost. All I have to pay is £99, not free…

MSE Blog: Yes, I admit it. I have solar panel envy
"As someone quite excited about all things renewable energy, when I found out just over three years ago that my new home came complete with solar panels on top, I was over the moon. They’d combine my passion for MoneySaving with my love of saving energy. But the relationship’s turned a little sour…" Read the full MSE blog:…

Ofgem - more short-sighted grandstanding and hatred of pensioners and Scottish Power
Ofgem have now fined Scottish Power for allowing those quarterly payers who dutifully pop into the Post Office to pay their bills promptly a competitive price for their energy. Those pensioners, who for whatever short-sightedness themselves, choose to continue paying quarterly will never again be allowed to pay a decent…

How much does replacing double glazing windows realistically save?
If I replaced 2 wooden framed windows 8 feet by 6 feet and 5 windows 4 feet by 6 feet with a gap of 15mm between panes with 7 PVC windows with a gap of 22mm between panes and heat reducing/reflective glass and special gas, how much, in % terms, would the heat loss reduce with an indoor temp of 22 deg C and an outdoor temp…
