EDF rip off?
HI all Just want some advice really!! We are a working couple. We work long hours. Usually we leave the flat around 8am and come in at 8pm 5 days per week. So we are in only at nights and weekends. The problem is that EDP is charging us 1074 pounds per year. :( My question is... We have 1 bed flat, electricity only, we…

SWALEC is better than Npower !
My moan is that Npower does not give as good a service as SWALEC .... Mum's with SWALEC and if I go online and give them her electricity meter reading it automatically calculates the cost of the electricity used since the last bill. I'm with NPOWER for electricity and gas. I give them regular meter readings between bills…

Scottish Power CRAZY Gas bill
I'm really worried: I gave my meter readings to Scottish Power who said that from 15th December to today I had used 1350 units of gas - the equivalent of over £650 in just 4 weeks. I live in a detached 3 bedroom house, with a coal fire on most of the time. The heating is on for approx 8 hours per day. The thermostat hasn't…

British Gas -Homecare - Boiler Cover.
What a shower. Found ourselves with an intermittent fault on our Ariston combi just before Christmas. Tried a few l local guys but got nowhere ... Only one called me back but had already in desperation arranged a visit from BG. £99 repair and circa £20 ongoing monthly cover. I know it's expensive but rock and a hard place…

Best top up heating
My oil filled radiator has died :( I am not sure whether to replace it or get something else. I use it morning for about half an hour and sometimes in the evening if I am feeling cold as I like the direct heat (I sit next to it :D ). I never turn on the central heating in the morning but it goes on in the evenings. I see…

Boiler-Installs.com Review
Hi, Quite new to this whole forum business so I hope I’ve done this right. As I couldn’t find any reviews of this company I thought I’d let people know about my experience as I am extremely pleased with the outcome! A few weeks ago my boiler started to make funny noises and I was advised to get it replaced to avoid any…

Experience with storage heaters?
Does anyone here have experience with electric storage heaters? I'm looking for a new flat with my partner and we looked at a lovely one today, but it had electric storage heaters with economy 7 meters. I've heard that they can be very expensive to run, and not so convenient to use (we'd be at work most of the day), but…

Electricity meter running backwards
About 4 months ago our local electricity distribution company (Western Power) replaced the power cable to our house up to the meter cupboard. They also re-worked the cabling around the meter. I've just done a reading and realised that the reading is now much lower than it was back then! It looks like they've mis-wired the…

I have found a website that offers interest free credit on boiler replacement just wanted to ask if anyone has any experience or…

Thinking of changing to GB Energy
I am thinking of changing supplier as my current fix with Sainsbury's is due to end on 29th Feb. GB Energy are one of the cheapest along with Extra Energy. Extra Energy reviews are putting me off changing to them but there are very few reviews about GB Energy. Has anyone on here dealt with them and if so how did they fare?…

Never paid for gas!
My son has moved into his first flat and the neighbours in the same converted house told him "don't register for gas because we've been here for years and have never had to pay". Well, not only does he have a conscience but his tenancy agreement states he must contact British Gas. If this has an impact on the other…

Extra Energy
As i'm sure many people know, that have experienced Extra Energy, they are not very good... that's the nice way of putting it. They threatened to charge me £12.00 for every time they have to contact me, and I want to know whether there is any way I can charge them for every time I make contact and never hear back... they…

Landlord won't agree to Energy 7 meter
Hi I mentioned last week I've had a massive bill due to my storage heater, and my energy plan being standard rate. I was advised by SSE to push for a free energy 7 meter to be installed so I can go on the plan. However, despite SSE saying they'll do this for free, he isn't keen. He says the meter is suitable for the…

Dual Meter From E-ON
I am part of MSE switch alerts for my Electricity but I hit my switch time a while ago and when I tried to take up one of the other cheaper suppliers (currently with E-ON) I started the process only to get a letter telling me I was on a Duel Meter and that some suppliers don't accept customers on this. I have hit my switch…

Economy 7 Heater question
Hi, first post, just a quick question about my storage heaters. I have three storage heaters in my flat two 1.7kw and one 2.5kw which I don't use as the flat is so small. Anyhoo, my manual storage heaters have an automatic boost depending which setting you choose, at 6 the damper opens in the afternoon and at 3 it opens in…
