Feed in Tariff meter reading
I have solar panels and a Landis gyr E110 generation meter. I had submitted FIT reading in July and also received payment after that. But now my meter reading is showing the same reading as in July and the LED light is a constant red ( it is not blinking red). Why has my meter reading not gone up at all in the past few…

Could You Pay Less?
I challenged my energy company about a statement on my latest bill which states unequivocally that I am on its cheapest tariff. I am not. If I was to 'tariff hop' to the latest version of the XXX Energy tariff it would cost me £60 ( loss of online discount) to do so for a saving of about £48 per year. That said, I might…

Using boiler clock to save energy
I have a Worcester Bosch boiler with a clock that has four marks each hour that can be set to the 'on' or 'off ' position. If I set each one to be alternately 'on' then 'off ', am I saving money, or does firing the boiler up each half hour use more fuel than keeping it running constantly? To set them like this wouldn't…

British gas, £77 for 2 days
Hi, I recently moved house, and pretty much instantly switched supplier from British Gas to Eon after moving in. About a month ago, I received a bill from British Gas. The bill said about £77 for a period of two days. I'd been meaning to ring them and about this but put it off, and then forgot. I've now had a phone call…

Change Electric meter
Ive moved into a house with an economy 7 meter and a radio teleswitch. Im with British gas and have asked them to change the meter as 1) i don't want economy 7 and , 2) the meter is over 30 years old and I'm my opinion inaccurate as my bill is £570 for a quarter. ( admittedly a bigger house but still same number of people…

Air Source Heat Pumps - Any good in practice?
Hi, I have researching Air Source heating systems and find very conflicting information. The Energy Saving Sites say its cheap to run but a few people I have spoken to say the opposite, one stating that they were told their house would cost only £300 per year to heat but actually cost £2000. We live in Scotland & the wife…

E.ON missed appointments and helpless Energy Ombudsman?
I have been an E.ON electric/gas customer for several years and E.ON tells me they need to replace my electricity meter. The meter is outside my flat, but I am told that the customer needs to be present. Over the last 8 months, E.ON has booked 4 appointments, forcing me to take annual leave, and has not turned up to ANY.…

Huge electricity consumption in a brand new house
After a series of errors by our monumentally incompetent electricity provider (who shall remain nameless for eons) we've just got our first bill in two years, and it's huge - thousands, run up in just two years. Now I check the meter and it's showing over 20,000kWh consumed, which is almost impossible for a family of 2…

Studio Flat - Billed £80 electricity for first 45 days
Hi I've only been in my new flat about 45 days and provided a meter reading when I arrived and today. I only have electricity in this block, no gas. I have a storage heater with fan. I've been foolishly switching it on and off at the wall for 30 minutes a day, but it still seems very pricey for a small place. My dad thinks…

British Gas Bill - no gas use listed
Hi I have a dual fuel tariff with British Gas - it's a fixed deal til March 2016. I am trying to compare prices but a) their bill is now listed as an "energy" bill that does not automatically separate electricity and gas and also b) when I did see my usage for the past 12 months, I could only "gas" in the third quarter…

Warning - First Utility now charging for tariff switching
I have been with First Utility for a few years and regularly switched onto their cheapest Fix without incurring exit fees. I just submitted a request to move to a marginally cheaper fix (changing from Dec 16 fix to Feb 17) and noticed the piece of information saying "you will not be charged to move to a longer fix" had…

I enquired about the free boiler but I am not eligible as I am not in receipt of benefits, even though my earnings are under £16000, isn't this typical ! You don't get anything unless you are on benefits!

Eon Direct Debit Manager - Question to Eon Rep
Can the Eon rep please explain why I cannot alter my direct debit on-line but have to wait until after the 23th February (1 yr anniversary date) which is still some 7 weeks away? It seems a bit ridiculous to lock out functionality for such a long time. My account is in credit and the DD has remained at the initial figure…

Smart Meter
So since "Upgrading" to a Smart Meter with British Gas my monthly bill have double in price from £36 to £75 ! They say its because they were under estimating my usage before. I'm shocked how they can do this. Is it really my fault they were undercharging me? I guess its my fault for getting a Smart Meter I am going to ask…

Capped off gas
So my father has had issues with his British Gas prepay meter which has been in the house since 1996. They came to change the meter yesterday to fix the problem, great! Or not... Upon fixing meter they said there was an 8 bar drop? Therefore something was leaking so they've capped his gas off (be it appliance or piping)…
