EDF
Hi I swooped from Utilita last Oct 2025 to EDF reading was 398 at the time (active import reading). This was a brand new meter so accumulated this with Utilita over 6 months. This seems about the correct usage each month for a one person flat. EDF have not taken smart readings since so each month I have submitted them…

Standing Charges on utilities, Is it possible to rid of
I’ve been looking into energy bills recently and I’m struggling to understand the justification for standing charges . it feels like you’re paying a fixed fee regardless of how little energy you use, which doesn’t sit right, especially when trying to cut costs. I’ve seen there’s talk of new tariffs or consultations where…

E.on Next - Just accepted a new tariff but want to cancel it.
I just accepted a new tariff but realized it was a tracker and wish to cancel it and get a fixed. What is the best way of going about this? I have sent a message via Whatsapp but is there anything else I can do? If I signup to a new fixed deal would that cancel the Tracker that I have just signed up to?

Off Peak hours not what I expected. Do they vary?
Hello, I've been on the very good Quantum Dimplex tariff with British Gas. It's been great but it is ending soon and rather annoyingly, there isn't a replacement Quantum Dimplex tariff. So much for that partnership between the two…. So I am trying to find another tariff to move onto. I found a good one last night with…

storage heaters
I'm not sure what to do. I moved into a property 2 months ago and have economy 7 storage heaters. I left electric as it was on e7 because I didn't know how this worked. When my bill came in it was exceptionally high even though I was on e7 rate. I'm not sure what to do now because it seems that people are panicking over…

EON Next Time of Use Energy Consumption- Electric
I had my suspicions that I was being overcharged for energy with EON, so I went through my bills and noted that there were no meter readings just consumption figures. I added them all up, added them to the opening reading I had when I joined them and by my calculation this was 10k kw more than my final energy reading with…

Smart meter installed 5 months ago, still no usage data with OVO Energy, anyone else had this
just wanted to see if anyone’s been through something similar as it’s getting a bit frustrating now. I moved into a new property and initially had a completely incorrect bill from OVO, which they later admitted was wrong. Because of that, they installed a smart meter around 7 months ago to fix things going forward.The…

Economy 7 / dual rate
Hi, I feel very stupid about this but it's only recently that I realised there is such a thing as a flat rate for electricity rather than day/night rates, which is what I've always had. I've lived in my current flat since 2020 and it's only electric so I now understand its an economy 7 meter. When I look at comparison…

Credit balance refund and billing mistakes
I'm with one of the big energy suppliers, on a dual fuel dd standard rate, have been for about 5 years. At some point a few years back there was a misreading with my gas meter reading (must've been me, since I've not seen a meter reader in about 10 years). It was an over read, so I got billed for too much gas. Never…
