Octopus Tracker vs Agile
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,…

Octopus Home Mini problems..?
Annoyingly, for the second week on the trot the Mini has lost its connection. Both have happened late on a Sunday night. On both occasions a simple "switch it off, and on again" has solved the issue, but I do wonder what is causing it and if I'll need to ask them to replace it. Anyone else finding issues?

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.

Thermaflow Boiler - Wet Electric Heating Tariff
Hi, all the other posts about Thermaflow boilers are old so seeing if I can get any up to date info. Moved into a property with an old broken RTS meter - it's not sending any data, but was a 'complex' multi-rate one with 3 rates. Smart meter replacement booked for March. Account with Scottish Power - currently on standard…

Overpayment on Estimated Heat Bill for 8 Years - England
Based in England. Heating with Eon in a flat. I gave a meter reading of 5000 kWh in Feb 2018 and just gave another reading (July 2026) of 9500 kWh. My estimated bill is 22,000 kWh so I have been massively overpaying for the 8 years inbetween. I'm the idiot for not providing meter readings in those years but it just wasn't…

Smart gas meter will never work. Has technology changed?
Got a decent deal with UW a few years ago, as long as i had smart meters fitted. I did some research and as my gas meter is in the basement and appx 20+ meters from the electric meter it wouldn't send the data. So they fitted the meter anyway, and sure enough it doesn't work. I'm looking for a new supplier, and a lot of…

EDF Refer a Friend

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…

Home Energy
My MSE Octopus fix is about to end and the Energy club found me some new fixes to look at. The cheapest is Home Energy, a small / relatively unknown supplier. There are no early exit fees and this switch is forecast to save us 10% on both sources, which is decent. Next ones on the list are the likes of So Energy, Outfox…
