No online usage data on EDF website since switch to EDF GoElectric tariff. Anyone else in same boat?
Since switching from a fixed EDF Economy 7 tariff to EDF GoElectric96 in July, I can no longer see the smart meter data on the EDF website. Prior to the switch, the data was being displayed. The IHD has also stopped working. The correct tariff rates and time of use were uploaded to the smart meter on the day I switched and…

Confused by extraordinarily high gas usage
Hi my elderly parents live in a small 3 bed semi detached house. They don't use the central heating much, they have a gas cooker, and they do like wash-up in the sink rather than use the dishwasher. These things don’t seem like things that would use a lot of gas, however their metre readings seem to suggest an annual…

Are Solar Panels a good investment?
We’ve been quoted for solar PV panels that should give us more energy than we use on average per year. But I worry about whether the projections can be trusted. Do solar panels really save you money in the long term? With rising gas prices we are even considering installing an electric water cylinder to be powered by the…

I cant see that overnight temperature should be so high as when I had gas radiators at a previous address the heating wasn't on overnight so dropped well below 18°C They give the following…

Deemed supply after house move
We are possibly about to make an offer to an “all electric” property so the current increase in energy prices is a consideration. Can I confirm that even with E7 the “deemed supply” KWh rates the incumbent supplier will put us on can be no more than the cap, and that we can just stay on that unless/until a cheaper rate…

Martin is right. Better to just go with variable rate
Hi, I was previously moved to EDF when GNE went bust. I was moved with the same great deal I had with GNE. This now ends tomorrow. I have been checking different suppliers etc but no great deals so decided to wait until after October price cap to check things again. Just checked again EDF to see if it was worth changing.…
