https://www.edfenergy.com/refer-a-friend To make clear, not looking to either refer or be refereed. Looking to move to their standard tariff without any exit fees. I've had a look at the T&Cs and can't see you have to be on a certain tariff. My thought is a could move again soon after being paid penalty free. Anyone see…

I received a call to my mobile from a Manchester number. The caller expected to be speaking to a family member - ie they had her name but my mobile number. The caller wanted to speak to her about her British Gas account. That must be reference to a charity she's involved with, which uses BG for electricity. So now I'm…

Hi All, Octopus have a 3 hour free electricity session tomorrow from 12-3pm, for extra electricity used above normal usage. I'm specifically wondering how they calculate this over longer sessions such as this 3h session. We are on Octopus Cosy, so normally our usage is zero between 12-1pm (as we're on battery) but would…

I m a five year customer of British/Scottish Gas for electricity. My flat does not have gas as an option. I have storage heaters and my existing Economy 7 tariff has worked out well for me. Over the course of a normal year, about 70% of my total KW hours are night units. I am in Edinburgh and my existing tariff is Fixed…

I might well be missing something obvious here but can anyone confirm my reservations on switching to this tariff please. I am about to purchase an EV and am looking at sorting out how to organise home charging. Our annual mileage will be quite low (about 5000 per annum) so would not need to worry about charging every…

I have a signal by my meter of -115dB far less that needed for a reliable Smart meter connection. Although I would save 11% and more later I am wary of !!!!!!-ups in getting the meter installed and the aerial needed, etc. Considering staying on standard as OVO does not seem to have a way of changing to a fixed deal on their…

Approximately 3 weeks ago, as I was coming to the end of my current fixed price contract with my previous energy supplier I investigated what other fixed price electricity supply tariffs were around for someone with an EV. Eon Next Drive Smart v6.9 came out on top, so I applied to switch on the 1st August. It is not 6th…

This discussion was created from comments split from: Do I pay bills from completion or actual move date, or both?.

I’ve seen a promotion advertised by Uswitch offering 25 hours free electricity if you connect your smart meter. Has anyone taken part in this before as I think they may have ran something similar at Christmas? I assume the catch is they collect and sell your usage data to target you with tailored tariffs?…

I am a landlord with a small portfolio of properties bought and held through a limited company. When we acquire a property or a tenant moves out we move the utilities to British Gas so that we have everything under one utility company. We had a property that a tenant moved out of unexpectedly and because we were focused on…

Ordinarily this wouldn't bother me, but for various reasons I'm going to be extremely squeezed over the next six weeks or so, literally monitoring the pennies. By coincidence, I'm switching energy contracts away from Ovo. It should be completed by the start of next month, I'm still in the cooling off phase. I have a…

Octopus again! I am over £200 in credit with Octopus and in response to them asking me to deposit even more money with them, I have requested a refund. I now receive a message saying they will review it and let me know if it they have approved it! This is MY MONEY (they are NOT a BANK!) and they have the audacity to think…

Using MSE Energy Club, I've found that the best value fixed price energy deals seem to cost pretty much the same for 1 year and 2 year fixes at the moment. Are you fixing for 1 year or 2? Appreciate there's no right or wrong answer but interested in hearing a range of views.

Bit of a strange one. We started an electric supply contract with Home Energy in September. DD was duly set up and they took the first three months' payments. We're now vacating the property at the end of August, so I was looking at closing off the account, and realise they took nothing more after those first three months.…

Long time lurker but new member here. Used the MSE search along with others in the past but this mornings check confuses me. We're on a BG tariff ending 30/09/2027 so I've put my actual kWh usage over the previous 12 months. It says I'm currently paying £1234 PA (the actual is/was £1526). It says my new bill with BG will…

I've been on the Octopus electricity Tracker tariff for a while now and I've saved many hundreds of pounds with it. It's not doing so well now and I've been looking around and noticed on the Octoprice website that Agile is consistently cheaper by a couple of hundred a year. I'm just wondering how accurate Octoprice is,…

If you're one of its 15,000 household customers, your supply won't be affected and any credit balance you had with the firm will be protected – but you should take a meter reading now.

Hi, I'm a month to month property guardian where my landlord can give me 28 notice to move. I'm in a 1 bedroom flat & a low gas & electric user. I was on a EDF dual fuel tariff that has just ended, it didn't have an exit fee. I've been looking for another deal but all the ones I see are either the standard variable or a…

Hi all. Firstly I know very little about energy costs and am seeking advice. My question. I am currently on a fixed with British Gas on £175 per month. My deal ends at the end of August and I am in credit to around £120. I have been given two new offers from September 1st 2026. A fixed rate at £ 205 per month or variable…
