Electricity meter readings are 20x higher than average and I don't know why
I have always been pretty consistent about submitting meter readings monthly and six months ago I noticed my electricity meter reading (I have a gas meter as well but that has been fine) was about twice as high as I would have expected. I put this down to it having just been Christmas. But a month later it was 5x higher…

British Gas fail me again
I am in the midst of an Ombudsman complaint against BG that has been dragging on, for what seems like, forever. Putting the ongoing complaint to one side, today I find out that they have changed my variable tariff (yes it has decreased) but they have failed to notify me. Any other BG variable tariff customers not get any…

Solar Panel and Battery Quote Advice
Hi, I'm hoping to get some advice on quotes I'm starting to receive for solar panels and battery storage. For context, I'm replacing both my petrol cars with electric vehicles and the household electricity consumption is 3400kwh. This will obviously increase significantly when both cars appear. The quote I have received so…

Which EV Charger to get?
Wife has decided to get an electric car (Mini) so will need to get an EV charger to benefit from low night rates. Any recommendations? We are with Octopus as have Solar panels and battery.

The caretaker takes a meter reading and then the total consumption is then subtracted from the main meter which is then in the service charge budget as…
