Economy Seven Dual rate meter
Hello I posted an enquiry on the in my home section but maybe it is better asked here. We have a dual rate meter and have an economy 7 tariff.

Some help RE: Hot water timer?
Okay, so I've included a couple of pictures to illustrate what system it is. Usually, I press the big on switch, the light turns red and it heats the water up, and I then turn it off. I was happy with how this worked. Today, I turned it on as usual, left it for half hour or so and went to do my washing up but the water was…

Turning radiators on and off?
Is it okay to do this? I live by myself and it always seems pointless heating up a room that I won't be for hours. Is it okay to say, have all four of my radiators on for twenty minutes at the start of the day, then three of them off when I run the heat again for twenty in the afternoon (the bathroom and two living room…

Hi everyone. I have been a dual fuel customer with scottish power for a few years without any issues. Always payed by direct debit on time and entered meter readings when requested.

Electric Boilers vs Electric Heaters
Hello, We live in a bungalow where this is no mains gas available. We therefore only have an electric immersion heater and cylinder to heat the water plus an array of plug-in electric heaters around the place to heat each room.

Ideal Mexico 2 boiler run on calor gas
Hi. We have an ideal Mexico 2 boiler, run on calor gas. I'm looking for boiler insurance providers who insure non natural gas fuelled boilers. Any ideas? I'm also concerned that the boiler isn't going to be covered as I read elsewhere that ideal stopped making them in 1998. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.

I have looked at the Cheap Energy Club on here and it estimates that I could save over £150 by switching to another supplier. However, I've looked to see what the best deal I can get with British Gas…

There was a co-op link that I clicked on and managed to get through to the energy/utility section. I switched to them on Friday. Realised today that may not get the advertised cash…

supplier refuses to bill on meter readings
I am in dispute with Ovo Energy about their billing practices. As an electricity only user,in a new build eco-house, Ovo Energy refuse to bill me on monthly metered usage. Ovo insist on using something called an EAC ( Estimated Annual Consumption) basis of assessment for their Direct Debits. This is 120% higher than actual…
