Economy 7 timing problem (EDF)
I have a 2024 Kaifa 'smart' meter. Up until recently the timing of the storage heater switching (ALCS) was well synchronised with the Economy 7 tariff period. However since a new E7 tariff on 14 Jan, the tariff change to night rate has been delayed by 30min. This of course means that for the first 30min the heavy storage…

The message they have received is Your smart meter will stop working on 1st June 2026 We’re getting in touch because we need to make an…

Move from OVO?
Little worried about OVO being able to keep going. I don't have a meter and always send a reading twice a month and when I do miss never had an issue with estimating their end. My AI search says Sainsbury (E.ON) is a good one to switch to but will I be forced to have a meter? We are elderly couple with low energy needs for…

OVO – 3 years of billing errors, 2 Ombudsman rulings ignored, now contradictory repayment demands
Hi all, I’m looking for help because I’ve been stuck in a multi‑year dispute with OVO Energy that still isn’t resolved, even after two Ombudsman rulings in my favour (June 2024 and May 2025). OVO continue to bill me incorrectly, add new charges, and contradict their own written agreements. Summary of the situation OVO…

Issue with the MSE website - my tariff isn't listed
I'm looking for a new tariff comparison and the MSE website asks me for my current tariff (British Gas "Fixed Tariff v34") but this isn't listed in the options. When I click "my tariff isn't listed" it tells me to look at my bill to find the tariff. Very frustrating.

Fuse energy- Horrendous
I signed up with fuse with a tempting saving, monthly amount quoted and reviews seemed reasonable. Ive had a horrible experience from start 6 months ago and will be leaving, penalty or not. NO customer service, no human response and no phone number for us that struggle with apos. bills change constantly, more taken from…

The British Gas Big Switch tariff doesn't show up if you select gas only
The MSE email said the British Gas Big Switch tariff was "For: Dual fuel/elec or gas only". I only want to switch gas, as I'm on Octopus Agile for electricity and that's working well for me. If I go to the Cheap Energy Club results page, it shows me the dual fuel British Gas Big Switch tariff at the top, but if I then…

EDF have changed Economy 7 times
I have a property with Economy 7 as my only heating (since 1991!) I'm on a standard variable E7 tariff with EDF. A smart meter was installed in Feb 2024 anticipating the RTS switch off. It has worked perfectly, with 5 night storage heaters receiving low rate electricity between 00.30 - 07.30 (GMT) for 16 months. But, in…

Fuse energy help?

Smart meter billing errors - is this likely to be a widespread issue
I'm responsible for a remote house (electricity only) that had a forced SMETS2 meter installed to cope with the RTS retirement. After a couple of months, the steady bills, which were just for night storage heaters, leapt. Much trouble later, and the supplier (EON) claimed that a power failure had 'broken' the meter so that…

Economy 10 - EDF
EDF have almost doubled their off peak rates for Economy 10 from 1st Jan from 8.57p per kwh to 16.67p. Admittedly it seems that 8.57p was a very low price, but this is still a massive increase. As we have storage heaters the vast majority of our electricity use during winter is off-peak, which means that our annual bill is…

Best EV tariff + SEG export tariff when you have solar & battery? How do people compare properly?
I’m trying to work out the best way to compare EV tariffs together with SEG export tariffs, for households that have solar + battery + EV. Most comparison sites (and even MSE guides) seem to look at: • cheap overnight EV rates or • best SEG export rates but not the combined effect when you have both. For example, if: • an…
