Baxi Ecoblue Advance Heat 16 Or Bosch Worcester Greenstar 15ri ?
I'm looking at replacing my Conventional Boiler, I'm not sure which to go for between these 2 - Baxi Ecoblue Advance Heat 16 Or Bosch Worcester Greenstar 15ri ? I've had a few quotes now, most installers are offering the Bosch Worcester at £100/£150 more than the Baxi but I've just had a quote for both at the same price.…

I currently have prepayment meters installed for both gas and electricity. I want to switch to paying by monthly direct debit and possibly switch suppliers but have been told that I cant do both at the same time. i.e. I have to switch meter type with my current supplier then switch suppliers once I am on a pay monthly…

Will I be charged for last tenants fuel?
I am moving into a let, where the last tenants did a bunk so I do not know who the last supplier was. My housing association says they do not have the last meter reading. I took it and sent it to my supplier British Gas who are taking over in the new property. I am concerned that I will get billed since the last bill that…

People's energy, worth investing in?
Hi, has anyone out there thought about investing in the new energy company (owned by the people)? People's Energy is a revolution in terms of supply energy and supposedly being able to return up to 75% of profits to its customers. I'd like to know what people's thoughts are on this new business? Thanks Paul

Npower mistake. Should I tell them?
I have recently had my economy 7 meter replaced due to an issue with the timer. However the engineer reported the final readings of the old meter the wrong way round.

The truth or not the truth that is the question
I previously used uSwitch and it was a simple and hassle free process and I saved money, excellent. However, I have recently switched again but on this occasion, I used another site as it came down to price and value add. However, during the process, I find a general frustration with the whole switching process as all the…

Smart Switch vs. Top Saving Providers
I have just seen that I can save £234 per year by switching to the Smart Switch provider (Green Star Energy). Looking at my comparison however, E-On come up at £243 saving. Their customer service is pretty low but they are one of the big 6 and would save me more money. Looking at the best rated providers, Avro would save…

Monthly "Pay What You Owe"
Hi, We're not MSE speak savvy really but have been on the old British Gas collective switch having been previously long time BG customers. We provide our own monthly meter reading and we pay in full what we owe according to these readings via variable Direct Debit. We like this setup but now find ourselves in "Standard…

Can you haggle with your energy provider?
Possibly a newbie question from an energy standpoint, but I do this all the time with TV/Broadband/Phone suppliers with plenty of success. Really just wanted a steer on whether it's worth calling my current provider, Scottish Power, and telling them that I'm moving at the end of the month if they won't match the best…

Our CH is still coming on in the mornings - just wondering if we're being profligate with our gas or if we need to find out why our house is so cold.

Eon Losing Customers
Reluctantly, I was compelled to switch from Eon because of their uncompetitive tariffs. Before switching I hung on hoping they would see sense and introduce a more competitive tariff. I noted yesterdayin the media that Eon have lost a substantial percentage of their customer base. Eon’s pretax profits for the first months…

100% renewable energy claims
I have just filled in all my details to check for a better deal for my energy supplier. There were some savings to be made, but I was amazed to see that the top savings came from companies claiming their energy was from '100% renewable' sources. This is utter nonsense. The National Grid supplies almost (some homes are off…

Confused and scared to switch
Hi everyone. I've been a fan of this site for many years, but one thing I can't bring myself to do is switch energy suppliers. I have done it twice, and both times it was a terrible experience. The two times I switched I has massively inflated bills over what i was paying before and spent a lot of time arguing with the…
