British Gas Direct Debit
Hi, does anyone know if the amount you pay on a DD can be changed by your supplier without them notifying you. I have to bank accounts, one of which is for my bills and nothing else. I make sure this account has enough money to cover all my DD's every month so I don't have to worry about missing any bills, however, this…

Solar panels - a few questions.
I signed up at the weekend for a 4kW roof solar system, and a similar system for my Mum (aged 76).

I am on MSE Energy Club, so we get the best…

Eco dan
I have been asked if I want one of these put into our rented property. It's our choice and can refuse it if we don't want it. Our current heating system is electric storage heaters, would they need to rip these out and put in central heating? If they do I'd proberbly reject it as they'd run the piping on the surface which…

House Rewiring required or not ? - Your HELP much appreciated
Hi , We just bought a 2bed victorian house and wonder if it requires rewiring because we don't know when it was last rewired. When we brought electricians some said it requires rewiring and some said it's okayish. Given we are doing a full renovation now, it makes sense to rewire at the same time, but given it's a…

Turning hot water tank off?
With all this sunshine I've noticed that my flat is uncomfortably warm late at night / early in the morning even with the windows wide open. Took me ages to work out why, as it reminded me of the warmth I experienced with my NSH during winter, but that's been switched off for months now. It finally dawned on me today that…

Energy Bill Problems - the Solution
Just had a daydream, and the obvious solution to all the energy billing problems that plague this and other sites. We all have a regional distribution company, who actually deliver the electricity/gas we use, deal with safety issues, and who we have to deal with in the event of power cuts, supply issues etc. Why can't we…

I switched to Co-op Energy in January 2014, and up till this March was generally satisfied with both the service and the online portal. However, they are now obliged to tell you if you are on their cheapest tariff and what you could save by…

Electrical Safety
I have recently bought my first house (moved in about 2 weeks ago) and am upset to discover the electrics in the house are unsafe. A qualified electrician has told me that the house should never have been sold in this state, or I should have at least been informed before purchasing. I cant find anything online to confirm…
