One contract is up on 31/3/24 and a third party broker (Northern Gas & Power) have got us in to contract to sign back up with the currently supplier (Engie) but at a rate of 60ppkw for over 3 years. This is on a blend and extend contract so in…

Inaccurate old gas meter or reduced usage
I think I'm about to get into a dispute with my supplier about my gas usage. They keep over estimating my usage, compared to what my gas meter is reading. Just noticed that the manufacturing date on my gas meter is 1985. I'm not sure if it's been installed here since then or if it was refurbed and then reused here, but…

British Gas billing - back billing?
I'm hoping someone can offer advice on an issue with British Gas, I changed from BG to Octopus back in April 2024, at the time I had a £1479 credit on my BG account and chased several times to get a final bill, I provided final readings on numerous occasions, raised complaints and quite honestly got totally exasperated…

BG - Tariff end date
My current EV tariff with British Gas has an end date of late May 2026. What happens then ? I'm guessing (if I don't choose a replacement tariff) I'll be moved onto a Standard Variable Rate one ? Cheers

Warmauk - Anyone used them?
Anyone got any experience of WarmaUK? I’ve applied for the free central heating, we’ll it’s not quite free as its estimated cost is £2.5k, so subsidised might be better description. They seem very keen to sign you up, took a substantial deposit to send a surveyor around, a rushed and late surveyor turns up, spends 2 hours…

Intelligent Octopus Go - not using Solar?!
I have IOG, myenergi Zappi, solar and a VW ID3. All was working well… I previously had it setup to charge overnight on the EV rate, ready to commute in the morning. If I was at home during the day, or at weekends, any solar was diverted by the Zappi, into the car. Nice and green. Only once the car was full would it then…

Switch via MSE Cheap Energy Club failed
On 26th Feb I used the club to check for the best deal for me and decided to move from Octopus to E.ON Next, Next Fixed 16m v9. Received a confirmation email from MSE stating "You should be switched within five working days (or 14 days if you chose to wait longer)." No emails since from anyone involved. I have been busy…

Smart meter not showing usage data
Is there a technical reason why my gas smart meter hasn't been showing usage data on any app or my online account since the end of January yet my supplier (Octopus) still gets smart meter readings for it? There's nothing wrong with comms, it just looks like the DCC are not getting the usage data for some reason yet they…

AgileBuddy
I've been using the AgileBuddy website for a while. I'm on Agile tariff and if I compare my use with Agile itself, I would expect it to say they are equal but it doesn't. It says that agile is a few pounds per month more expensive than my actual Agile tariff. It makes me wonder how accurate it is with the other tariffs…

EDF Smart Meter installation (lack of) appointments
I'm with EDF (dual-fuel) and have been for a few years now. I still have 'dumb' meters. I'm in no particular rush to get a smart meter, but every month when I submit my meter readings out of curiosity I take a quick look (by clicking/tapping on 'Book an installation') to see if there are any available slots for a smart…

Hi There, I'm currently with Fuse Energy on a good fixed tariff until September. I was advised when I joined them that I could take my tariff with me as was planning to move house this year.

Smart meters
Hiya I moved into this property in January 2020. I reported to British Gas that there wasn't an in-home monitor. They booked me in with an engineer to get one installed but COVID hit literally days before they were due and told me it would obviously have to wait and to just monitor my usage on the app. I told them that…

New duel fuel tariff
British Gas! Time to change to a new fixed tariff, comparison site said British Gas was the best deal so put my highest winter usage in for a quote. Now after 1 month they say my bill will be doubled. Turns out they just gave a number that sounds appealing regardless of what I said I use. They’ve just said I’m using more…
