Gas vs electric oven?
My daughter's gas oven has been declared unsafe, and disconnected. She could replace it with an electric one more cheaply, but is concerned about running costs. (She has a separate gas hob). She has two small children, and does a lot of 'proper' cooking. I reckon a modern electric fan oven will heat up quickly and have…

Powergen - underhand
Because Powergen recently sent me details of increased fuel costs I looked on the switching sites to see if I should change suppliers. NPower came up cheaper but not much. I then looked closer and was suprised to see that the rates quoted on the switching sites for powergen were much cheaper than those quoted to me in my…

HELP! Electricity bill quadrupled
Is there anything that I can do? Strangly enough last week I thought that as we were paying £67 per month for our electricity I ought to look at moving supplier from British Gas as the cost had gone up from £25 when we first moved into the property in June 2003. I used the site through MSE that gave Cashback and have moved…

Warning on npower
Switching your gas and electricity supplier may make economic sense but be ready for hassle if you're switching FROM npower: In July last year, we bought a student house and switched energy supplier. Despite carefully recording the meter readings and notifying both npower and the new supplier, SWEB, npower sent us a bill…

Powergen - be very careful!
I thought I would warn anyone considering changing to Powergen that the rates quoted on the comparison websites are incorrect. I am already registered with their ‘Energy Online’ tariff. I received my bill last week and the rates were considerably higher than those quoted on the comparison websites, and also Powergen’s own…
