Back boiler: replace with new gas boiler, electric, or heat pump?
I have a recently installed solar system, comprising 7x 475W panels, a Fox H1-5.0-E-G2-WL inverter and a single Fox EP6 battery; I'm still waiting for the G99 so I can get onto the Octopus tariff, but meanwhile I'm kindly donating my excess power to the Grid. It's fine for the Summer (the panels can do up to 4kW), but I'll…

British Gas back billing
I’ve been a BG customer for many years and have switched tariff with them a couple of times during that period. I pay by DD every month. last year I noticed that BG had not cut a statement since March 2024. I contacted them and they said there was a technical issue with the smart meter (I had daily gas and electric usage…

How to reunite separate gas and electric with an EV tariff.
I’m struggling to find a place that will allow me to search for this. Currently have electric with Eon Next, but there are better rates with eg Edf, but then I can’t see the married gas rates. Searching gas alone (as current supplier OVO aren’t offering anything enticing) points to ecotricity or fuse. I don’t know if these…

Meter Profile Class change
Has anyone been through a meter profile class change? I'm in a property that used to have an Economy 7/dual rate meter which I've since had changed to a smart meter, I also got my energy provider (OVO) to give me a single tariff rate for both the peak and off peak readings. I've asked them to change my meter profile to…

Plug Solar appears to be arriving via certification, not a new plug standard.
One interesting observation from following the UK's plug-in solar journey over the last few months: A lot of electricians and standards specialists argued that the UK didn't actually need to rewrite BS 1363 from scratch to reach the same destination as Germany. Their view was that a workable route already existed: • Create…

Why the alarmist headlines on getting a better deal?
So I log into my Energy Club account and the deals are laid out for comparison to our current deal, a BG Variable tariff. MSE calculates our monthly spend at £130. Even the best deals are barely worth the effort of switching, just to save literally a few pounds per month. Why the panic Martin, am I missing something? Is…

How long do utility companies need to keep billing/account records for?
How long do the utility companies need to keep billing and customer account records for? I was expecting them to go back at least 6 years, if not longer for current customers. My supplier (one of the big ones) has just admitted that they don't have any records from longer than about 2 years ago, which shocked me. The…

I’ve got an Economy7 meter which has stopped switching to night mode. What’s more night use is only 17%, so not worth it. Current supplier Outfox arranged for a smart meter to be installed but SMS engineer aborted installation due to restricted access. Question: is there a supplier who will offer a whole day single…

Logged on this morning to enter my latest meter readings, which were accepted, but whilst the last 18 months of gas readings are listed the electric list is blank. Just says there are no historical readings. I am not concerned as I have all my spreadsheet data &…

So thats actually 7 weeks and 3 days the old supplier could hold your money, when the new supplier you've just moved to wants a direct debit payment UPFRONT. Must be…
