EDF energy meter trouble
EDF has been estimating my bills for 6 to 9 months. This last time, they requested I read my own meter, as they feel it has not been movingforward and may have developed a fault. Having taken meter readings 5 days apart, I have noticed the readings have not changed. My question is: EDF will try and lumber me with loads of…

EDF and DD reviews
I joined EDF on 12 October last year, and based on my average consumption in the previous year (11000 KW) my payment was set to £32 a month. However after my most recent bill (mid May) they now want to put my DD up to £65 as I have a debit on my account of £135. I think that by the time I've been with them a year I will be…

£2000 electricity bill: is there anyway to know if someone is stealing off us?
We're 6 girls sharing a house and our latest electricity bill is £2000! The meter is now running at a normal speed so I don't think we have much chance at not being forced to pay it. Can you tell if someone's somehow tapping into the supply? Thanks xx

Problems with E-on & huge bills

The house is not large, 3 beds, with oil fired CH, LPG gas hob with electric oven. Normal A grade appliances, which have all been checked for faults, and came out perfect. We use energy saving…

Infuriating letter from British Gas
Several years ago, I would hazard a guess at 6ish!, I got into problems financially and was unable to pay my electricity bill. I cannot remember the exact amount, but I'm pretty sure that it was a good few hundred pounds. Anyway, they agreed to put me on a prepay meter and I would pay it off over time. As you can expect,…

Alternatives to storage heaters?
Does anyone know anything about "JAWO Electric Radiators"? They seem like a good idea but are the pumps noisy? I've read elsewhere on MSE that all heaters give the same output (so I won't be taken in by the Wibo rep who's coming to talk to me tomorrow). I've recently had a quote for an ASHP system which was over £2K more…
