• Are Npower allowed to do this?

  I moved out of my previous property on 1st June 2014 and my final bill with actual readings stated I was in credit by £153.79. I am still with Npower so they did all the switch over at my current address (I pay direct debit and always have done). Now 20 months later I have received two bills totalling over £1900 for my…

• Standing Charges Massive Increase?

  Hi All I'm trying to help my elderly mother with her gas and electricity. She's currently with First Utility and the tariff is due to end shortly. Obviously I expect prices to go up, but the increase in the standing charges is massive. She's currently paying 2.43p a day for Gas and 1.87p for Electric. The rates they are…

• Robin Hood Energy and lack of billing - help?

  Hey guys, Late last year I switched from Glide to Robin Hood Energy, as they provide a competitive rate and no cancellation fees, which is an issue for a student. I really like the idea of RHE and their prices are much better comapred to what Glide were giving us. Anyway, during the switch we had to ring up Glide a number…

• Worcester/Bosch Greenstar 34CDi Classic boiler

  Wonder if anyone has one of these boilers? Got mine installed a week ago and can't get my head round programming the daily timings for the RT500. I've followed the instructions at the side of the wireless control box, looked at something from a plumbing company on YouTube but to no avail. The heating is is coming on (a)…

• Energyhelpline Winter Collective 16

  Hey, Does anyone know when Energyhelpline will announce the winner of their upcoming collective? I signed up a while ago and still haven't heard anything. I'm eager to compare against other collectives, but I believe MSE's closes soon so don't want to miss out. Thanks

• igpower.co.uk

  one of igpower's assessors came to our house to assess our boiler, they said they will get back to us with the make of their boiler. We waited a couple of days for their reply but they did not call us so we decided to go to a different company. Now igpower called and i told them i don't want to go ahead, he said he will…

• OSO hotwater rs m usage help!!?

  Hello, So I moved into this flat in October, I've only ever he'd electric storage heaters and used them efficiently on cheap night mater rates. However this new flat has an electric boiler and cylinder hot water system. The landlord had no instruction manuals for the system. It's so cold in here I just switched all the…

• NPower Bill Confusion

  After a two-year long debacle of trying to move my energy away from NPower, and within this time to only receive a single bill from NPower, which was calculated incorrectly! NPower administration was utterly useless, I spent hours on the phone speaking to different people and quickly lost faith. They openly admitted their…

• Infrared heating panels

  Has anyone got any experience of Infrared heating panels? I live on the middle floor of a three floor block of flats (6 units in the block), there is no gas to the property just electric. The building is about 10years old and is currently heated via wall heaters (and fan heaters in the kitchen and bathroom) the heaters…

One is 9 hour off peak and the other is standard Our annual forecast bill is ca £2,500, based on ca 20,000 kwh pa That is much more expensive than it used to be.

  Hoping someone can help me as I'm worried about my father, who has dementia. They live in affordable housing through a housing assoiation in a flat with carers onsite.

• E.ON meter readings

  I have just moved to dual fuel with E.ON. When I try to give meter readings the web site accepts my gas readings but will not accept my electric readings. Have anyone else experienced this and if so is there a solution?

• Tariffs

  I am thinking of joining the group energy switch bu would like to know the exact charges per kilowatt hour of gas and electricity plus the standing charges so that I can make a comparison with what I am paying. I was shocked that when I went on the MSE to compare they calculated the potential saving assuming that I would…

• Where do i go from here?

  Hi, I have been with a number of the big 6 over the years, with mixed experiences from excellent to awful. Encouraged by advice to support small energy companies, I switched to OVO in March 2014 but unfortunately it proved to be a complete disaster with long periods without bills and meter readings being imposed on me that…

• NPower - Threatening Little Old ladies Now?

  I just had a worried phone call from my MIL (late 70's) because she has received a threatening letter from Npower. This letter supposedly says that "they" have repeated called at her home AND have left numerous cards. Strange then that NOT ONE has been received - more so given that this elderly lady does not often go out.…

• E.O.N Harassing me

  Good Morning, We have recently switched from EON as our deal was ending and it was cheaper to go with British Gas. We are a large family with a severely disabled daughter, so our gas usage is much higher than average. Due to this, and because EON reduced our monthly payments by around £100 a month, we were unable to pay…

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-35554092 Northern Ireland's largest electricity supplier is cutting prices by 10% because gas, the main fuel for creating electricity, has fallen in price. Here in GB, suppliers have only cut gas prices. But, as gas provides 33% of electricity supply here, electricity must be…
