E.On energy email
Is there any way to contact E.On by email? They don't seem to give an email address. We have been trying to resolve an issue for over two years (essentially, a common issue in new-build flats, where postal address and plot number are different). I thought E.On had agreed a long time ago that they would not pursue any…

Octopus winter workout - what did you save
I had an email from Octopus today saying I had used 5% less gas, which was £3.02 saving on my bill. It was hard to save even that small amount as I already do many of the measures suggested. My annual usage is about 7,000 kwh, well below average. My usage would have increased if I maintained the minimum teperature of 18…

Electric - Run my house off my Tesla
OK, so I haven't got a Tesla, but if I did..... With Electric prices, maybe I should charge the Tesla at 7.5p hWh during the night and then hook my house up to run off the Tesla during the day hahahaha Seriously though, other than the £15k upfront cost, what's to stop me having a powerbank battery in the house - charge it…

Are EDF Scamming people who switch
I used to be with Utility
Point and was supposed to move to EDF. I took the SMART move to jump to a cheep
provider Sainsburys. If I had followed Martin Lewis’s advice and do nothing, it
would have cast me another £800 a year in energy. My way it only increased £30
however... I have received emails from EDF

Hi - first time poster on this forum, and I have some questions based around the scenario in the title. I've just had a 4Mw Solar PV system installed and have been looking into the SEG.

Thoughts on longer fix
I am currently on fix until mid Jan 2023 with electric 28.18kwh SC 24.03 & gas 8.4kwk SC 26.1. I have been offered a 3 year fix electric 31.395kwh SC 24.0345 & gas 7.14kwh SC 26.103.

Can EDF change my tariff price a week into my new tariff?
Hello, so this might be long winded but I’ll try to keep it short. So I moved in October 2020 and started a fixed rate tariff with EDF at £74 a month for a 3 bed house. Now this tariff ended in October 2021 and because of the rising energy prices I decided to just roll over onto the variable rate. I had an email from them…
