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.

Home Energy variable vs Octopus fixed
so I’ve read through Martin’s advice and any threads but still struggling to figure out what to do. We are on the Home Energy variable tariff which is a discounted vs price cap tariff. Currently averaging around 10% below cap. With July price cap looming is it worth sticking with it (hoping that even if price goes up it…

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…

Cheap-rate electricity sounds great in theory, but how do people actually remember?
I get the idea of using electricity at the cheaper times, and in theory it makes total sense. But in real life I think the hardest part is just remembering at the right moment. It’s easy to say “run the washing machine later” or “wait until the cheaper period”, but day to day I think most people just forget or get busy.…

Switching through comparison sites
Hi When switching through price comparison sites, should I expect to see an email from the new supplier acknowledging the switch and likewise one from the old supplier recognizing my intent to leave? I made a switch and had no communication from either suppliers so I don't know whether my switching request was successful…

Electricity Supplier Rewards for Customers
So who really cares about supplier rewards? There are just too many and I'm not sure they really 'reward' customers in the long term. Do you use them, are they the main reason to stay with a supplier and who are the best?

Safeguard Assist Capped - should I stick with it?
Hi All Mum is currently on the EDF Safeguard Assist Capped and wonder if we left this, the Warm Homes support etc would stop? I don't want to go to a cheaper deal if it jeopardises and makes no difference? Can anyone advise?

Is this Outfox renewal comparison misleading?
My Outfox Energy contract is up for renewal and I clicked the link in the email to see what was on offer. They list 3 tariffs in the "Fixed Tariffs" section but one of them tracks the energy price cap. Is it normal to describe a tracking tariff as "Fixed"? I almost selected it but decided to double-check with their chat…

DMEX process/rules
Currently in dispute with my supplier over gas billing. They've now provided me with revised bills, and now that I've complained to the ombudsman, supplier has just mentioned doing a DMEX and manually generated bills. By googling I've discovered that DMEX probably stands for 'dummy meter exchange'? And suppliers use this…

Smart meter installation
Octopus have installed a smart gas meter but are refusing to install an electric smart meter because our existing meter is 7'6" off the ground and above a kitchen work top. I find this unbelievable 😮 So we are unable to get a better tariff through no fault of our own. What would happen if the meter became faulty or just to…
