Choosing supplier for new gas supply
Hello all I'm after some advice on choosing a supplier for my new gas supply. There is a pipe up to the house, and Wales & West have tested it to check that it is live. I now need to find a supplier, but all of the info on here (and the web itself) seems to be geared up for swapping to a new one, not starting from fresh.…

Solar immersion
Hi, I've looked though 101 threads discussing this but most either speculatively discuss options or talk of their calculations based on initial installations. Has anyone been running an immersun (or similar) for a couple of year; enough to have a reasoned calculation of their real world savings?

Hive price for non BG customers
My Wife and I have been considering Hive for a while now. Looking at the site shows 2 prices, one for BG customers and one for non BG customers which is £50 more. Are there any incentives (i.e. lower prices/ discount codes) for non BG customers at all? Would a BG customer need to order installation at their billing…

Meters installed the wrong way round
Hello folks, I moved out of a house in July 2013 and after a little while, it seems that an issue has been found my NPower who was the energy supplier between November 2009 and July 2013.

Ovo No Warm Home Discount .
Be aware when thinking of using or changing to Ovo that they do not take part in the Warm Home Discount Scheme . This means for those that qualify for the £140 electricity discount you will not be able to get it .You need to factor this in to any comparison / tariffs .

Money Saving Energy Club Delays
I applied to switch the energy supply for the house I own on 29 September. The MSE site says "switch in progress" but I still haven't heard anything from either MSE or the new supplier. In the guidance it says expect something in the post within a week. Is anyone else finding responses slow? Please vote. :(

Gas or solid fuel?
I'm sure this has been covered before but I couldn't find a thread. Is solid fuel cheaper than gas per KW? We're taking out an old inefficient gas fire, for this winter we'll just have an open fire then replace in the spring with a multi fuel stove. Will I get more KW heat in the room from solid fuel? We are not in a…

Just read the article on BBC's news site titled Switching sites hiding best energy deals, claims rival does the cheap energy club do this - miss out the best deals to get more commission?

Electricity recalculated
I am ashamed to say that I have never checked my meter reading when I received a bill. I am now in arrears with EON. 3 months ago I went on to paperless bills and when they emailed me the first bill I checked my meter. They estimated that I should pay £352.00. I sent in my meter reading and they recalculated the bill which…

Moved in but had no bill
Hi, A friend of mine moved into a house a few months a go but has never had a bill. I am sure he hasn't actually contacted the electric or gas supplier however the service is still being provided and nobody has ever been to read either meter? What should he do, come clean and speak to a provider? Thanks.

BBC: Comparison websites hide a third of deals
This is outrageous if true!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-29665221 I had no idea that "Do you want to switch now" really means "do you only want to see tariffs that give us commission". I just tried to test it on Moneysupermarket (the owners of MSE?) but they are down for maintenance. So I tried it on compare the…
