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…

how to find a energy provider who offers variable DDs
Just that really. I want to have a variable DD but when I look on different providers' website there no indication to say they offer these. On the energy club comparison page there are some providers (i.e. Fuse) that say they only offer variable DDs but they are not necessarily ones I want to go with due to high exit fees…

Heat network charges — £50/week for hot water in a new-build London flat. Is this normal?
Hi all, hoping for some advice as we're really struggling to get anywhere with our supplier. We recently moved into a 2-bed, 800 sq ft new-build flat in London (3 adults). We're on a communal heat network — one central boiler for the whole building (~27 flats), with an individual meter in our flat measuring our usage.…

Desperately Need Help With Octopus Energy
Hi, I'm trying to help a friend of mine who is going through a horrendous time at the moment. She's recently escaped from an abusive relationship, which has caused a lot of issues, particularly financially. From what she's told me, one of her biggest problems is the amount that Octopus is charging on her pre-payment meter.…

British Gas newspeak
My BG energy account was recently credited following a billing issue. Checking my last statement, the DDs I've paid since then, and the anticipated credit, the balance looks to be correct. However nowhere in the account (such as under payment history) is there a record of the credit. I will have to wait for my next…

Octopus energy confusion

I’m struggling to understand everything they’ve done, so I’d really appreciate some outside opinions. Background I have three Ombudsman decisions in my…

EDF Large credit balance
Talk about having the worst days of your life..EDF for a long time have been showing a large credit balance of c£9k on my account. Every other month i would try and submit my meter readings.

Octopus or Eon?
Moved into a new property Friday and the old supplier is Eon. Wanted to stick with British gas but they wanted an estimate of £300 a month. When researching the best deal, it was octopus who estimated £188 a month but have explained if the usage goes up or down then they will just adjust the direct debit. I’ve had a call…

British Gas final bill £3,845 after Ombudsman upheld my complaint — what next?
I moved into a new build flat in January 2023. A smart meter was already installed — no previous tenant had used it. I called British Gas to set up my account. They set my direct debit at around £30/month. I'll be honest: I had never paid energy bills before (previously lived with family), so when my DD was £30 and later…

Suspect Holiday Park Owner is Inflating Utility Bills

I have been unable to obtain copies of the original utility bills to verify whether the amounts charged to residents accurately reflect the costs incurred by him. I am also concerned about…

Should decent off-peak electricity rates be available to everyone, not just EV owners?
I’ve recently been looking into energy tariffs while considering a home battery and possibly solar, and I’ve hit something that doesn’t quite sit right. From what I’ve read, only around 55% of UK households have a driveway — which effectively means access to an EV charger, and in turn, access to some of the best off-peak…

Cheap Energy Club
just checked my tariff, but it seems the recent reduction in kWh hasn’t been updated for Fuse so double check before you take the plunge. In my case there doesn’t appear to any cheaper tariffs when using my new kWh price which is .2007p. Standing charge remains the same.

SSEN Connections
A few years ago I requested my electric meter be moved. I lived in a farmhouse and the meter was in a barn belonging to someone else. I was initially told because I paid the bill for both meters it was my supply and moving the supply cable at a cost of 500 pounds. Paid it, then was told that I would have to install a…

IHD help.
GGood Morning. I am with Fuse Energy. My smart meters have not worked since I joined them last summer. I eventually got them to agree to fit new meters which are now working. I have noticed that my IHD no longer works. When I contacted Fuse they said tough luck basically and that I don't need it as I can check things on…
