Npower opinions?
Hi, Just checked the various comparison sites and Npower comes up top for us, with a saving of £293 a year for dual fuel electricity and gas. I'd like to know how good (or bad) their service is. I don't want any hassle with switching or bill errors etc. Currently with British Gas and London Energy who I've had no problems…

Online v Telephone Tarrif
On reading The Money Diet and deciding to switch power company, I logged on to https://www.buy.co.uk and discovered that London Energy (aka EDF) would save us around £130 per year on our fuel bills if we switched online and got our dual fuel from them. I checked getting gas & elec separately, but the dual fuel was the…

Have I been over charged?
We have recently changed supplier as I wasn't happy about paying £200 more than I had over the previous year although we were with a different supllier then. But this company told us they were the cheaper hence why we went with them. When I was with this company I was paying £33 Gas and £30 Elec per month. Which in my…

Hello. I was with Atlantic, though I am not sure exactly which tarriff, but I heard that they were putting up their prices.

The difference only seems…

Changed meters from pre pay to eco 7 at beginning of Dec 04. Hadn't received a bill in April, so called them and was told one would be sent. Two weeks later called again, was told the bill had been prepared but stopped for no apparent reason. Gave another reading, but still no bill. They take ages to answer the phone and…

Service charge
We pay £14.50 monthly to British Gas for a service charge on our boiler. They now want £ 16 monthly. Is it really worth it or should I just put the money away and hope nothing major goes wrong.

When can I switch?
I moved house at the end of last year, and with one thing and another I 'forgot' to notify the Electricity Supplier that I'd moved in. I recently got a bill from Powergen for over £1000 - whilst I could understand a large bill, I didn't expect it to be this big! Having read the bill more closely, it would appear the…

Dual rate electricity query
Someone told me today at work that if you have dual rate electricity (cheap rate at night), although the night rate is cheaper, the day rate is actually MORE EXPENSIVE than the 'standard' single rate - is this actually true? The reason I ask is because we don't really use much electricity at night, and we can't put our…

London energy - take the hint please
This is what I just sent London energy. Do you think they will take the hint? Regards X Dear Sir I have retained proof of posting of this letter. As you seem unable to hear very well, then clearly phoning you is ineffective and I have, this time, written it down. On the 30th of January I arranged to switch my electricity…

London Energy 'online' price increase
Seems EDF Energy (London, SWEB and Seeboard Energy) have increased the 'online tariff' effective since 9th March. But supposedly only for new customers, will not effect existing 'online' customers. The concerning coincidence for us, is that they waited till the 9th March to switch us over to them. So now I'm concerned…
