Communal Meter Cupboard
Hi, I've just moved into a rented flat and it looks as though there's a communal electricity meter. I've never rented before but it seems odd because surely I'll be paying on average for others' usage? Does anyone know how the bills are calculated, please. Is it simply an average?

Hello, I have a small 1 bed flat (300 sq. ft./30m squared) with electric ceiling heating which I rent out. The ceiling heating seems to have stopped working - my tenants didn't mention it and bought an oil-filled radiator, but it meant that the flat got terrible condensation around the windows and doors over the winter…

NPower complaints phoning back? Let's see
When NPower closed my account 8 months ago, they provided my new suppier (Ovo) with a gas meter reading of 2800 instead of 1400.

On-peak and off-peak electricity meters
Hi all, I have a question regarding my electricity meters. We have two in our flat, with one being on-peak and another one off-peak according to the bills we have received.

On npower for gas? Deal alert!
If you're on an npower gas account, it's worth checking out their new Oct 2015 Online pricefix tariff. I was on their May 2015 fix, but the new one turned out about 5% cheaper for me. Went through Quidco for £22.50 cashback for switching tariff too. Worth a check, nevertheless.
