2 to 3 months ago I completed the process of applying to swap my Electric & Gas tariff via the MSE Cheap Energy Club. Time passed I heard nothing, but as I was only changing tariff but staying with British Gas, I thought it must have sailed through. Unfortunately I heard on 31st May from MSE Cheap Energy Club that, British…

HI All - Apologies if this has been answered decisively before but having searched the forums, I am not entirely sure and pretty sure I understand the position but looking for confirmation that my understanding is correct :) I moved to Octopus Intelligent Go last week and I understand that my whole home gets the off-peak…

I live in a static home on a private site and my utilities are provided by my landlord. I have for some time believed he is charging me more than he is payimg for the utilities. Have sent an email to him requesting he furnish me with evidence of the price he pays for utilities as advised by the Citizens Advice Bureau but…

Beginning of May we were told our electric bills had an error and octopus are going over 2 years of electric bills. We always send monthly readings for both gas and electric and pay by DD monthly. we were in credit before this issue. They then said our meter is at the end of its lifespan so we must get it changed. We were…

I am currently with British Gas on the price cap. The switch tariffs on offer through the customer portal are rubbish. However on comparison sites they often put up much more competitive switch deals which seem to allow switches from new and existing customers. When completing switch forms, it is all very much worded…

CCurrently With octobus,our fixed rate has just cone to an end so bill is gping from 126 a month to 140. Is it worth me fixing a new deal ? Estimated usage by octopus below Total yearly estimate £1,605.94 £1,124.05 for 3,851kWh-electriciy £481.89 for 6,367kWh-gas This is based on the latest industry estimate of your energy…

Do you use Fuse Energy? What do think? How is the customer service? The App? Billing? Please let me hear your reviews. I've read the previous threads, Trust pilot etc. I'd like to hear from current or previous users. I'd also like to hear the same about Outfox the Market? It's time for me to divorce 🐙 It's been a long time…

Bearing in mind today's 7/6/26 plunge pricing is from 0500 until 1600 not much for those not on agile …. they sent this beginning May , not been any meaningful saving sessions either.

Just had an email from B Gas saying energy costs are going up soon. Looking at the increase in my projected annual bill this is going up by 27% ! Analysing this, the gas is the dominating factor with an increase of 17% in the unit rate with electricity unit cost only going up by 6% ! The standing charges are hardly…

Hi - I wonder if anyone has any advice. I’m on prepayment meters for gas and electricity with EoN Next. Back in April, they contacted me to arrange to replace my old meters with smart meters. The day of the appointment, the engineer tried to push through a “Sorry We Missed You” card quietly through my letterbox, but as I…

Am new to Forum. I am with Home Energy for my Energy Supplier and am currently happy on their Fair Variable Dual Tariff since September 2025. The rate has not changed since I moved to them. For my estimated usage it is £2101 per year - I should note that this includes charging my electric Car. There are no exit fees so am…

I inherited my late father's house in Wealden (East Sussex) — EPC G, my income is way under the £35K per year criteria, it's a 4-bed detached in council tax band G with an equity release mortgage. The deeds are still in my late father's name but I have Grant of Probate and I am the sole beneficiary. However, on the…

Be warned… About two weeks ago, I took a gamble and decided to take out a one year fix with E.On Next (my existing company). As we mainly use during the day I was sure to chose a tariff that had the same day/night rate and this was confirmed in the email confirming the tariff change. get my first statement post change and…

So I got an email from BG and it tells me my new rate but when I do a search for new energy the prices are wildly different, the yearly prices on the new ones are way out compared to BG so what am I missing?

I am currently with Outfox Energy. For context I am paying 83/month (£997/yr) - no, I don't think I can cut down further… If I were on the price cap I would pay £1190 now and will pay £1350 from July. My contract ends at the end of August, but I could switch internally at no extra cost (I have done it countless times with…

I’m at a bit of a loss as to what the best next step is. I’m on Octopus Money Saving 10 month fixed which ends on 9 August. With the July cap I’m really most sure whether I should switch now or hold off and see if any deals come up. Switching would look like Fuse is my best option. My useage is 25491kw and 4549kw annually.…

Hello all. Looking for a second opinion regarding a backbilling dispute with British Gas. I was a British Gas customer from February 2024 until February 2025. My property was equipped with a smart meter and I paid monthly direct debit. However, I did not receive a bill until November 2025 for £1200, around half of which…

Update: Chat GPT suggests the answer to the first 2 questions is yes. Third question suggests waiting until 14 days prior at which time I can request the switch takes place on 2nd July. ...................................…..... I am currently with E.on. Energy club offers an E.on switch which is marginally less but with a…

I have a recently installed solar system, comprising 7x 475W panels, a Fox H1-5.0-E-G2-WL inverter and a single Fox EP6 battery; I'm still waiting for the G99 so I can get onto the Octopus tariff, but meanwhile I'm kindly donating my excess power to the Grid. It's fine for the Summer (the panels can do up to 4kW), but I'll…

MSE's Energy Comparison chart is suggesting that the Flexible Octopus Tariff is Price Capped. Yet, on the Octopus website it states the following: Flexible Octopus prices fluctuate with the cost of supply and usually update every 3 months Octopus are only offering two tariffs; Flexible Octopus and Octopus 12M Fixed So…
