British Gas - A Licence to Print Money
I originally posted the following in "LPG, Heating Oil..." and it was suggested that this forum would be more appropriate: A couple of years ago I subscribed to the British Gas Homecare 200 for annual boiler servicing and repairs.

Warm Home Discount and energy quotes
Dare I suggest that it would be worth while for the MSE Energy Clubs quotes to include in the calculations, an element for the WHD, maybe via a ticky box? £140 off your energy costs is a good lump, but only applies to certain suppliers. The comparison does make it clear do and do not support the WHD, but it would be good…

Switching via Cheap Energy Club - how long does it take
I am thinking of switching via the Cheap Energy Club. Previously I have switched directly with the supplier but there is a cash back offer via the club. Does it take longer to switch via the club than directly as my current deal ends on 30 November. Is it likely to be completed within that time frame?

My wife is going mental at me and to be honest using a computer to turn your lights on and off is a bit of overkill. Very overkill. The only useful thing about them is they can be dimmed but who wants to turn…
