Eon smart meter 'blackmail'
Hi all, We have an Economy 10 meter (due to the type of heating we have) and an associated tariff supplied by Eon. We've received a letter from them saying they are closing our tariff and moving us on to a single rate tariff, which obviously has no off-peak rate. This would make our electricity bill at least 50% more…

New build Energy Switch
Hi all! I have moved into a new build very recently (28/06). I know my energy provider is currently E-On. I emailed them numerous times to ask for information on my tariff and direct debit, however they have not replied. I am likely to switch anyway as I am assuming I will be bale to find a cheaper tariff elsewhere. I have…

SCOTTISH POWER UTTER MUPPETS, what to do?
:mad: My gas and leccy are supplied by GB Enregy Supply/Coop and have been for over 2 years. All bills are up to date and paid on time. About 3 months ago I received a final demand bill to my address from Scottish Power, addressed to someone I've never heard of and odd spacing on the address showing the property number as…

smart meter tariff change
Does anyone know if smart meters automatically pick up a change to my tariff? I changed my Scottish Power tariff at the end of July and my smart meter is still displaying the previous tariff I was on (with Scottish Power).

Proposed BG gas increase
My thanks to Martin for the letter to BG customers, however there are other factors that should lead MSE to lobby for prevention of the rise. BG admit that their material prices have gone down and blame the increase on transmission costs and the cost of implementing Government environmental requirements. Ofgem however…

How much elecricty do house alarms use?
Roughly speaking (as I know this will depend on the kind of alarm) - does anyone know how much energy house alarms use (daily, weekly, etc) on average? Bearing in mind that you can't switch them off, and they occasionally go off (which, presumably, uses more electricity), wondering if anyone has any idea? I've contacted…

Advice needed on swapping prepayment meters so I can switch supplier
I'm currently a British Gas customer but I'm hoping to move over to Bulb but because I have prepayment meters installed, I'll need to replace them with credit meters before I can switch supplier. The only way I think I can do this is to request the removal, sign up to one of BG's credit meter tariffs - probably standard as…

Hit by a massive bill upon closing energy account
Hi all, Looking for some quick advice. My household has been with Sainsbury's Energy for gas and electricity the past year on their fixed tariff - now ended, so we've moved suppliers. We were paying something like £90 a month by monthly direct debit based on their initial suggestion. I think we had to up it marginally some…

British Gas billing a non British Gas customer.
Hey, Due to a mix up of addresses British Gas are trying to bill me for someone else's gas bill. I am 43, Flat 3 and a new property has been given the same address as the house I am in but instead of Flats 1-5 they have Flats A-D. This isn't the first issue we have had with this new property and they're not honest people…

Hive and potentially switching suppliers
I hope you don't mind me asking here. Around four years ago we got a new boiler with British gas, as part of the package we had smart meters installed and BG home (or something similar titled) which allowed us to access our boiler remotely via the app and change temperature/ switch heating on or off. That app then became…

I'm 22, and through my university degree and first year as a graduate, I've always lived in places where I just pay the landlord a single, inflated sum of rent every month and the landlord includes electricity, wifi etc in this.

Smart Meters
Hi all, We had a smart meter installed in March 2017 by British Gas. I have read on here that if your meters are SMETS2 rather than SMETS1 you are able to switch suppliers with no issues. Any idea how I can tell which version mine is? I have looked on the meters but cant seem to find anything obvious. The gas meter is a…

Robin Hood Energy - do they actually exist??
As Ebico have now moved to Robin Hood Energy, I thought I'd make some enquiries. Unfortunately, RHE never, ever answer the phones. I've been on hold for 20 minutes several times and have now given up. Which is a shame as I really would benefit from the no standing charge tariff. It's all very well having this tariff…
