My gas bill
Hi, as like millions of others my gas & electricity suppliers went bust & I was pushed on to the main suppliers. I was originally with Ebico, they only charged for the units of gas I used, no standing charge. I am a super low energy user, my gas bill for a quarter would be £1.70. I am now with EDF, I got my first bill from…

Using more gas
PkeSe can someone help me! My boiler broke on Saturday and since then the consumption of gas I’m using is three times my usual daily usuage. Before I averaged on 30KW per day with heating on for ten hours. I put it on, on Saturday and 4 hours used 85KW. I’m in a tiny one bedroom flat and have no other outlets of gas apart…

Check your British Gas bills
Since I was forced to move to BG after the failure of my supplier last summer my billing has been erratic and incorrect ever since. It doesn't help that their staff do not understand the difference between a kWh and a m3 (their customer service manager felt I was unreasonable to expect them to know what number they want on…

Utility point final bill
Does anyone know how long it will take to get my final bill from utility point? They took over my supply on 28.8.21 until EDF took over on 30.11.21 and I have never received any bills for that period. Now EDF has billed me and added a debit of £160 carried from UP. I don't know how I could owe this much especially when UP…

Heat logs/briquettes - What am I missing?
I had a multifuel stove fitted the middle of March. I have used up most of the wood I had. I have some house coal from 2018, so I don't think I can use that. I purchased some heat logs from Lidl £3.99 for 12, which works out about 34p each. When the weather gets a bit warmer I am going to buy or build a proper wood shed,…

Electricity the companies buy back
We have solar panels, and our electric company buys the electric we don't use, to go back into the national grid. My question is, now the energy prices have gone up, does the amount per kW that they buy from us go up as well?

How accurate is the estimated forecast on gas and electric?
I was moved across from Avro to Octopus energy. I'd been with Avro since October 2020. The last bill from Avro had an annual estimated gas usage of 21,842kWh. I've had 4 bills from Octopus since I was moved across to them and they each have an annual estimated gas usage of 23,732kWh. My monthly direct debit has more than…

What's your daily smart meter spend since the price rises?
I'm really interested to know what's the average daily spend you're seeing on your smart meter by 7pm each evening? I'm checking ours at 7pm each day and it's saying around £7.00!! For context we have gas / electricity with British gas. Central heating flicks on about 4 times a day. Just 2 people in a 2011 build 5 bed…

Yorkshire energy debt
I've had a email from a debt collection company about a yorkshire energy debt from a couple of years ago. It was with another company originally as I had emailed them to say I couldn't afford to pay it and that also Yorkshire energy had estimated most bills and I didn't agree with the total owed. I heard nothing from them…

Does this sound sensible to fix?
So I know Martin’s current advice is it could be sensible to fix at around 18-20% above the current cap. British Gas are offering me this and I’m tempted to fix. I use electric only, no gas in the village I live. I have an air source heat pump for heating so naturally I use more electric in the winter due to heating. I use…

Can this be right - hours cost of gas?!
Hello, I'm not particularly savvy when it comes to gas/electricity but learning more due to the current situation! I'm with Octopus and have a smart meter. Came home from work and my gas was showing as 0.29p used which will mainly be the standing charge. Popped the heating on (gas boiler, 4 years old, new house, 4…

Things on standby & Air Fryer / Ninja Foodie's (& similar)
Thread is a 2 part question. 1) With things as they are, how much do things that you tend to leave plugged in all day (that don't NEED to be) use? Now without getting silly about it - the landline I would say needs to be plugged in.But the microwave when not being used, we only have turned on for the clock. There's an…

EDF bill cycles
We got merged into EDF when Utility Point went into administration last year. We pay monthly DD, and have smart meters but are yet to get a bill from EDF. Does anyone know how often they send bills out?

E.on next energy readings not updating
I have been trying to submit my meter readings for 31st of March about 4 days running now, each time it takes them but my e.on next still only shops my last readings as being 27/03. Has anyone experienced this at all?

Incorrect price increase
Hi all, I am with EDF energy and i am on a tariff that ends May22. I am on prepayment meters and have realised today that they are charging me the variable rates on the gas meter so instead of paying 2.68p per KW i am paying 7.32p per KW. I have raised a complaint which they are investigating but i was wondering if this…

Shell energy, unhelpful or what?!
I have asked if the suggested increase in my DD takes into account my 12 months bills from Pure Planet for last year. No! So I asked if I could send them over so that they COULD be used as a comparison. No. WHY NOT? GRRHH.

Smart meter since 1.4.22
I had my first smart meter fitted a few months ago and, having seen the standing charge and unit price of my energy increase this month, I was expecting my smart meter to know that this had happened. It doesn’t just yet however - is that because it perhaps takes a little while for the information to feed the through…
