Electricity handy rule of thumb
I was just calculating what an ionizer was costing to run and noticed a handy rule: If your electricity cost 11.416 pence per unit, then each watt of power will cost £1.00 per year to run continuously. Am I right in thinking 11p is around the best single rate tariff price at present? So keeping the 120-watt heated towel…

SSE - only unit rate is fixed?
The standing charge on their 2 year fixed dual fuel tariff is 14.8p per day. That's quite impressive compared to BG, npower and EDF. When I asked via web chat though I was told that is not fixed, only the unit rates and that it can vary by customer !?! I couldn't spot anything in the T&C for the tariff. I would assume that…

My supplier came out and removed the clock so I…

Which Suppliers Allow Single Rate Elec Tariffs on Dual Reading (Economy 7) Meter

I've tried and failed twice - work needs prior approval from freeholder/service company and access to communal boxes etc. Also needs time off work,…
