EDF Meter
My in-home display stopped working two months ago. Since most people I know don’t have theirs on but the meter still sends the readings, I decided not to chase for a new one, as it looks like they charge. I received the new bill last Friday and it looked like they only charged for the Standing Charge, I pay by DD and am…

Backdated electricity charges on Meadfleet bil
The estate I live on is levied a twice yearly charge including maintenance costs, overhead costs (which include things like emails, phone calls, admin and staff) and a management fee which is 15% of the combined costs of the above. The current bill has suddenly raised charges billed to them by Scottish Power back to 2014…

What is your average daily energy usage please?
I purchased and connected an In Home Display (IHD) to my smart meter just before Christmas as we had not had one previously. I am getting what I consider to be very high readings so would like to get a feel for what others with access to daily data are seeing if you are willing to share. My data for just the last 3 weeks:…

Intelligent Octopus Go - EV Charge Error
Just recently got an EV and Hypervolt charger and switched to the IOG tariff. When signing up I elected to connect to the charger rather than the EV, even though both were listed as compatible. IOG created a charge schedule based on my settings of 80% charge by 6:00AM. The 80% target is also set directly in the car…

Energy Saving Trust Solar Panel calculator excludes annual maintenance
Hi, I know it is the small print but I wonder how many people do not realise that the Energy Saving Trust calculator excludes any maintenance costs? The calculator has just indicated that it may take 12-years to recover my outlay, but if I add another £3,000 (12 * £250) for maintenance then this will push the recovery…

Moving on from Nest 3 for more savings on central heating
I made good savings last winter from installing a Nest 3 on my combi boiler, while also range rating the 30kW capacity down to 15kW for heating and setting the max flow temp to 60°C. However it was still switching the boiler on/off without any interaction between the boiler and the controller. So for this winter I've…

Update to Cheap Energy Club site
There seems to be something wrong here? I just had a look and there were various offers beating my current deal energy deal. But, on closer examination, it turned out that annual savings amounts were at odds with the annual cost?

Pending Payment -Octopus
I pay by regular Direct Debit. Since I got my new Smart Meter I’ve been paying far more attention to the app. On Monday last week I paid £200 by DD to Octopus. It went from my bank on Monday. But here we are on Wednesday, more than a week later and it is still showing as ‘pending’ in my Octopus account. I appreciate in…

Estimated usage, increased DD
Hi, Looking for some advice, but think I may have found the problem- have received a bill today with an estimated gas usage of 62,000 kwh for the year (not sure where they got that figure). DD increased from £130pm to £420pm i hadn't submitted readings for a few months but surely this is wildly inaccurate.

British Gas Membership and Boiler Service Worth it?
Hi all, I’ve been researching the best places to get my boiler serviced (less than three years old). I hear British Gas are offering a discount of £69 to join as a member and get a free annual boiler service. The options are to pay in full or split over a year via Direct Debit (£5.75/m). I’m thinking to opt for the monthly…

Faulty EV Charger - Nobody will take responsibility. Are there any options?
A few years ago, I contacted Octopus about getting an EV charger installed and they arranged a local installer to set up an Octopus branded EO Mini Pro 2 charger. As can be seen here, Octopus really did advertise EO chargers, built tariffs around them, and the equipment I have has their logo on…
