Flipper Community
Just tried this out and thought it sounded great. £25 per year and no charge until they save you £50. Fill in your details and they ran a search and appears they could save £373.... within seconds they have charged me £25.... but I haven't saved £50 yet! I have challenged them on this and it appears they take it on the…

Moving from Npower to SSE 45 days to close down account!
I have changed suppliers from Npower to SSE for dual fuel and compared to other changes this has gone fairly fast. Started 13 March and SSE had my supply from 04 April. Now I am trying to chase up my refund from Npower. They say it will take up to 45 days for this to happen! What takes so long? Is everything done by post?…

Cheap Energy Club
I recently changed my tariff using the cheap energy club. I stayed with British Gas, but changed to a British Gas direct debit collective tariff. I have had a problem though that the direct debit was not set up and British Gas are saying that they were never instructed to set up a direct debit. As I have been away I have…

Could we get our gas cheaper?
We are currently with sse on a 1 year fixed v2 until October with £30 cancellation fee. Just wanted to get some idea of whether our gas usage is high or not as got latest bill and we owe them £45.

Standing Charges / No Service
Hi guys, I consistently have no heating and hot water at home. Its a HIU unit so not gas, not electricity but apparently "heat". If the service is down, and I have no access to it, should I still be made to pay the standing charge? The thing also still uses units of energy even though out of service. I pay 25p per day…

How to shop around and switch?
Hello all :) I bought my first house in June 2015. npower wrote to me shortly after moving in to let me know they supply gas and electric to my home and I would automatically become an npower customer under a 'deemed contract'. The tariffs I'm currently on are Fixed Energy Online October 2016 Elec DD and Fixed Energy…

Most economic options for fuel.
Hi there, I'm looking at buying a property but it is listed as having LPG gas central heating which I believe is one of the more expensive forms of heating. I am considering turning the over to oil. There is a large rear garden so there would be enough room to have the tank far enough from the house, but I guess I would…

Next collective switch
Does anybody know how often the collective switches come around? I did the BGas one in Feb which I was happy with. My sister is coming to the end of a tariff on First Utility May 2016. Don't know whether to swap now, SSE is coming up £202 cheaper or hold out for collective switch. Thanks xxx

Scottish Power - Let Down
I need to rant, apologies in advance! So, when I moved into my property (owned) in October 2014 I found it had pre-payment meters, I spent the next year trying to get these changed to credit meters and really struggled to get them to agree to do this but eventually in December they agreed to do it! Yahhh! Scottish Power…

Economy 7 Tarrif error - where do we stand?
Hello everyone, We've been with British Gas for gas and electricity since September 2011 when we moved into our current address. Our property is old and costs us a fortune to heat and power - about 180 per month in electricity alone! I've always thought this was too high and recently scrutinised our bills to see what could…

Fixed tariff - leaving country
Quick question about fixed rate energy tariff contracts: If I am in a contract and sell/rent out my property (I will be moving abroad), am I typically still liable for the early exit fee? I am due to renew at the end of the month but will be leaving the country by August, so not sure which tariff best suits me here

Utilita Scam
So had a Utilita rep turn up on my door today saying I should have received a letter about them coming to UPGRADE my meters! When I asked are they from my current supplier he said yes and that they were a SISTER company! It was only after lots of questions from myself that I found out that he was NOT from my current…

Just Energy Solutions - anybody know anything about them please?
Hi hope this is the right place for this. Our old boiler is playing up and I looked on the MSE site and various other bits on Google and found out we may be entitled to a grant for a new one as we have low income. In my search I came up with Just Energy Solutions and filled in their form to get them to tell me what we may…

TRV's
Now I understand that a Thermostatic radiator valve controls the temperature of the radiator it is fitted to by restricting the flow of water. However what I am really struggling with is how does this affect the rest of the house. I have a VERY simple understanding of central heating, the boiler heats the water and it is…

I moved into a rented property on Friday and the lady who lived here before me had pre-payment meters for both gas and electricity supplied by Southern Electric. I don't want pre-payment meters not only because I've been told they are more expensive…
