Anyhow, I received an email from E.ON today advising me to choose…

Bit of a long story, but here goes... I moved out of my old flat on 8/9/2013 - almost 2 years ago now. At the time, NPower were provided with closing meter readings and I figured all would be hunky-dorey. I phoned a few times (I'd guess about 5/6) in the first 6 months enquiring about what the hold up was and was…

The annual cost quoted was…

London apartment with "Economy 9" electric (yes 9)
My apartment has an EDF Economy 9 tariff. Apparently this type of tariff is quite rare and seemingly unique to EDF. It is similar to Economy 7 and 10 except that you get 3 periods of heating throughout the day, of shorter lengths. Another interesting point to note is that my electricity meter here has two outputs, one for…
