Oil below $50 a barrel - can someone explain why my bills are not reducing?
Hi all, This may be a daft question given our dependence on gas but I would have expected by now that electricity costs would have significantly dropped by now - anyone know why not? If no good reason can we kick off a campaign to get the prices down asap? It would be typical if just as we hit spring that prices start to…

For those on Blue+Price Promise February 2016
This might be old news (sorry if it is), but I just added 3 months to my fix and got a lower unit price (standing charge unchanged) by switching to Blue+Price Promise May 2016. It isn't a massive saving, but only requires a few mouse clicks. ;) Make sure you check your own figures, but I saved £2.04. Blue+Price Promise…

Shocked at monthly usage for gas
Just had my statement for a months gas usage and I've used 1513 kw which is really high for me. 18 Nov - 18 Dec. Is this a usual amount for others or have I just gone over drastically? The thermostat is set at 16 and is on a timer from 5pm to 9pm and apart from the odd day, it has not been overridden.

Could anyone help with a question relating to: The amount of heat required to raise a building 500 cubic meters by 1 degree C (assuming no heat loss).

EON Illegally Manipulating Bills?
Hi, I've been with EON for around ~3 years now, using them for heating and electricity. Sometimes I am out of the country for 6-8 weeks at a time. One thing I've noticed, more so with my heating vs. electricity, is that the bill does not fluctuate that much when I'm gone. One would assume this would drop alot, but it…

Npower Hometeam - no good in an emergency
I have had two occasions in as many months when my central heating boiler has stopped working with an error code that suggested an "ignition failure".

Energy Club with Sainsburys deal gone awry
Hello I'm currently with Co-Op on Pioneer contract and used MSE's energy club to find a better deal. With my actual usage to hand of 1065 kWh electricity and 140 kWh gas per year MSE found a pretty amazing deal with Sainsburys Energy Price Freeze until January 2016. At £195.61 a year I was easily going to save £150 a year…

Let someone in to read gas meter. They took a photo. Legit?
Hi, This morning a man came looking to see the gas meter which is outside in our back garden. He was wearing a hi-vis jacket with 'gas' written on the back. I wasn't here but my mum let him in, and he went round opened it and took a picture of the gas meter. My mum asked why, he said to see if there was any plastic broken…

Npower, cant rectify my account issues in 2 years
Biggest mistake was to join this shower 3 yrs ago. From the outset, they have transposed my off peak and standard rate meter readings. Up to 2 years ago, they were able to correct this manually but this is no longer possible. 2 years ago i opened a complaint with them which has gone nowhere despite being handled by their…
