Check For Hidden Electricity Guzzlers By Switching Everything Off...
For example, hot water tanks heated by regular gas boilers may
have an electric immersion heater as well. The on/off switch may be hidden in a cupboard and may not be labelled. Easy to accidentally leave permanently on. Sounds obvious. A neighbour and my daughter were caught out

Smart Meter
When our previous supplier folded we were moved to British Gas. Last week they sent me an email stating that if we didn’t get a smart meter installed under the terms of our agreement they would move us to a different tariff. Feeling under a lot of pressure I booked an appointment for later this month, even though I wasn’t…

We joined So Energy having been promised a smart meter. It took months to be able to even get an appointment in my area (despite being emailed constantly by So Energy asking me to arrange one).

Reviving my SMETS1 smart meter
Over five years ago I was with British Gas who installed a SMETS1 smart meter. I then changed supplier to get a better deal and my meter immediately became dumb. Since then I have had to read it manually and the energy monitoring device no longer works. I have two questions. 1. If I now switch back to British Gas will my…

The various Energy Companies are applying 'The Price Cap' slightly differently but all are applying about 80% to the standing charge for electricity (& similar for gas). Why? Ofgem claim that a significant amount of this increase is due to the costs absorbed to fix the failed energy company problems. Fine, if this is the…

Price cap
Can someone give me some advice on electricity. We have a day and night reading on our meter and I was wondering what the price cap in April means for the two rates as it only shows one rate on all the documents I have found. Does it mean that both rates can't go above 28.34p?
