I received a bill of over £2000 from Eon for gas usage a few weeks ago with them wanting to increase my DD to £500 odd per month, which I assumed was a billing error, however Eon are standing by the charge and my account is now in deadlock with my only option being to write…

Confusing final bill from spark energy
I've recently switched supplier from spark energy to another supplier and have received my final bill from spark. It's for £1516.21!! I've been with them since Nov 2013, so the bill might not seem too extreme but I have been paying by DD each month. I was originally paying £62 a month by DD, this rose to £79/month at some…

Please give us a call as we're your energy supplier
Hello, I've just moved home and my friend sent me a referral e-mail for First Utility which would mean that if I sign up to them we would both receive an Amazon voucher for £50 each. However, when I went to sign up the FU website tells me that they're already my supplier (the former house owner used FU). I haven't…

Switching from BG October 2017 Collective Fix with smart meter
In common with many others here, I've had my notice from BG that the collective fix is coming to an end.

Also BG fitted smart meters, does this cause an issue with…

How to read a smart meter after a supplier change?
Hi, My mother has recently changed from e-on to a cheaper supplier (Scottish Power I think). E-on are asking for a final meter reading for the gas, but I can't seem to get one. The remote unit doesn't seem to display a classic meter reading and it also looks like it's only recently starting logging information. Does this…

How long should a boiler stay warm? E7
Hi all, We have just moved into a new place on E7 and are struggling to get used to it! The main issue is with the boiler keeping warm. We currently have it on from 4-6am but by 10am the water is running cold. Surely this can't be right? There are only two of us and our usage is for just two showers in the morning…

Energy switch
My smart meter. I have a meter installed by British Gas which apparently uses SMETS2 technology. Does anyone know which suppliers I can switch to who will enable me to continue using my smart meter as is without it being changed back to a standard meter? Many thanks.
