Having been a Yorkshire Energy customer I am now with another supplier via Scottish Power another nightmare. While I agree with the principle of smart meters I have to caution the way in which…

Hi Anyone able to give advice whether it's better to on a deemed or metered export? We are averaging about £13.70p from the Fit on a deemed export. We used about 2076kw of electric last year if that helps in anyway and our panels are East facing.

New boiler advice? Help to pay? PIP/disability
Hi, I'm in a real quandary and hoping folks can help. My 15 year old condensing boiler has broken. The engineer thinks the new valve it needs will cost around £500 fitted. It feels hardly worth it when the boiler could go at any time, they say they don't last much longer than 15 years. Plus he can't guarantee that's even…

Green Network Energy Collapse - Final Bills
It's been four long months since EDF has taken over the accounts of those of us who were with Green Network Energy when they ceased trading and there's still no sign of a final bill covering the energy used prior to EDF taking over.

Eon and Scottish power and overcharged bill
Hello I was unlucky enough to be moved to Scottish power when my energy supplier went bust. After a 6 month long fight I've managed to get them sorted out after much stress and worry and sleepless nights. However I have moved to eon and their first electricity bill has been generated on an opening estimated reading. When I…

Energy Deal Names
I have been on Avro's Simple and SuperPremier since the start of the year. It is not available from the dropdown menus when trying to do a comparison. Is this ever going to be added? Am I the only one to have this issue? It is rather annoying and spoils the effectiveness of a useful tool.

Economy 7 hours
Utility Warehouse tell me that Economy 7 is usually 12 to 7 but that not all metres switch at the same time because there would be an energy surge. So they say that it could switch anywhere up to two hours after 12 at night and the only way to know is by waiting to hear it click. Surely this cannot be true?

Standing charges
I just noticed that my standing charge per day on my old fix was 7p. Now all the standing charges are between 18p and 26p even on fixed deals, I assume higher on the standard variable. This would seem to be the companies evading the price cap and penalising customers who use very little energy, ie the poorest.
