Immediately upon moving in we took photos of the meter readings, submitted them to BG and then started the switch to Outfox Energy (OFE) It appeared that everything was going to plan with the switch to OFE taking place 7 days after we moved…

Price increase in July? Potential ceasefire?
It seems like there maybe finally a ceasefire with the iran war. I was on 12m fixed November 2025 v1 with octopus energy. I was worried about the prices shooting up in July and then go up even more up from November when my current term would end ready for another fixed term. Now I decided to refix because of this with…

Octopus App not tracking IOG cheap rates
hi. Anyone else seeing the same issue? Since April 29th all usage appears at peak rate, though I can see (via Insights) and Octopus confirmed, that cheap rates are being applied. Therefore it looks like the app has an issue though Octopus don’t seem able to help. I’ve been using the app for over a year on IOG and it may…

smart meters
Is there any way to trace my smart meter history. I had a smart meter installed before the pandemic. After a few years I was getting constant emails asking me for a meter reading. That shouldn't have been necessary. In October, last year an engineer spent all day replacing everything and I was given another, exactly the…

Octopus gas tariff
My fix ends in 2 days and looks like flexible is cheapest currently. But I'm guessing it'll go up in July? Fix is 1p more per kWh. Is that the sensible choice? Having an exit fee makes it a harder decision

Switching to flat rate when smart meter was previously economy 7
Hi all, I hope you can help. I moved into a 2 bed electric only flat in December that had storage heaters & economy 7. After the shock of my first month's bill being £300 😱 I replaced the storage heaters with infrared panels so no longer needed the econ 7 tariff. I was on Octopus Flexible (with different day/night rates)…

Fuse App problems?
If you check the long Fuse thread I started about 18months ago (which still grows), one of my reasons for signing up with them is the app that updates in real time (mostly) and allows me to check the KwH consumption when I make tweaks to my heat pump algorithm or whatever. Every so often it lags for a wee while if the DCC…

"Switch and get cashback*" questions
Cheap Energy Club shows this for every entry in the results page (or just Switch*) but nowhere does it say what the asterisk means. I'm also concerned that, as an Eon customer, I won't qualify for the Eon Next tariff switch cashback. I can't see any information about whether existing customers also get the cashback and I'd…

Home Energy sticking to opening "industry read" (double charged units?)
A couple of months ago, I switched to Home Energy for electricity. Despite having a smart meter and the previous supplier using the correct reading for the closing read (ending '115'), Home Energy insist on using an "industry" opening read (ending '095') meaning there's a double charge of around 20 units (they are charging…

Installing a electric charging port at home
I’ve recently got an electric car and now looking into getting a charging point installed at home. I remember a few years ago there were quite generous grants available (or even free installations in some cases), but not sure what the situation is now. Does anyone know if there are still any schemes available to reduce the…

Can I change to daily smart meter readings?
I recently switched from OVO to a fixed unit price deal with Fuse Energy (thanks to MSE Cheap Energy Club). My choice with OVO was monthly readings and Fuse are taking half hourly readings. I contacted them to ask to change to just daily readings and they have replied to say the can't do it. As the unit rate doesn't vary…

Octopus intelligent go questions
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…
