If you're on Economy 10 or a complex tariff, now is a good time to....
Either (a) Buy secondhand High Heat Retention (HHR) storage heaters on eBay. Whatever you think about the rights and wrongs of it (and I'm hoping we can avoid having that discussion here) the writing is on the wall for Economy 10 and other complex tariffs such as THTC. It's becoming increasingly difficult to find suppliers…

Energy suppliers saying I have smart meters
I'm looking to change energy suppliers and have been looking closely at my bills. Both my gas and electricity suppliers have put "smart meter reading" on my bills. I asked for my annual consumption and was given it. However I didn't remember these Smart meters being put in. I checked on the CABx website and I don't have…

Wireless Smart Meter
Hi, I'm hoping someone will be in the know about energy smart meters and just explain whose internet WiFi they're actually using. Can they pull down your home, broadband or interfere with speeds? I've spoken to a couple of electricians and a gas boiler fitter; none of them seemed to know the answer. Obviously they're using…

Electric only flat and underfloor heating
I recently moved into an electric only flat and I need some advice. I’m on economy 10. I have two meters (each with its own MPAN): one providing electricity at the day rate and a second providing off peak electricity only at set times. The only thing using the off peak supply is the electric underfloor heating which is in…

EV and OVO Charge Anytime
I was hoping someone may be able to offer me some advice please, consumer or perhaps a recommend an alternative supplier. Back in March I invested in a Vauxhall Electric Vehicle, and I wanted to get a home charger installed for it. I looked on my suppliers website (OVO) and I did a very long winded home survey which they…

British Gas Paper Statement
Dear all...... my father is 94 (and deaf) and cannot use a computer therefore he cannot access his gas/electricity bills online. How can I contact British Gas in order for them to send him a paper energy bill statement? I have tried telephoning them, but they insist on speaking to him. He is deaf and cannot communicate on…

Scottish Power. FIT payment not received.
Scottish Power have sent their customary letter to say how much my FIT payment is for the last quarter. However they have not paid it into my bank account. Normally I get the payment a week or two before the letter. Problem is (as ever) I cannot contact them to sort things out. Their HELP chat only deals with those having…

EON Refund Request Not Worth It?
I'll start by saying I do get a bit confused when it comes to my gas and electric, so I may be missing something here. I logged into my E.ON account and saw that I'm £400 in credit for gas/electric. From what I understand, that seems quite high for this time of year, so I clicked to request a refund and chose £200. The…

Octopus- 630Kw discrepancy ,"not a problem" now it is.
I moved into my house August 2022. Within an hour of moving in I took a photo of all the metre readings. The previous owner was with Scottish Power and I wanted to stay with Octopus. My first bill in September i checked everything. The meter reading was wrong. My actual meter was about 630Kw more than what was on the bill.…

Octopus "cashback" mystery
I'm sure this is gong to turn out to be something simple that has just slipped my mind, but a quick scan of my online banking today reveals a £1.60 which is described as being "Cashback - octopus energy" - only thing is I can't for the life of me think why I'd have been getting paid anything like that from Octopus?! Anyone…

RTS Switch off - E.ON Next doesn't have a solution to replace my 'multi 9' RTS meter
E.ON Next have had years to sort this out. Some of the meters in our building are over 27 years. I had two appointments to get a smart meter installed and the technicians couldn't do it.

Best option to replace Economy 10 old storage heaters?
Just moved in and looking to replace some very old storage heaters. I've experienced old storage heaters before and found all the heat was gone by the time I was back from work in the evening. Climastar came round and gave me a whole song and dance about their electric radiators. Super expensive. Told me I absolutely…

EDF bill 6 months after final bill from moving out?
I've just received a bill from EDF when I already paid my final bill about 5 months ago. It seems to be for the early exit fee for both Gas and Electric (£50). Am I right in thinking they had 6 weeks to issue a final bill (I had one in early January that I paid before the end of the month)? It looks as though they forgot…

Ofgem guaranteed standards, compensation withheld - RESOLVED
Earlier this week I received a £40 credit to my Octopus Energy account for them failing to provide a final bill within six weeks of a switch. I am somewhat sympathetic to them as there is a fairly good chance some or all of the blame lies with my new supplier, Tomato Energy. However, them's the rules.With no sign of a…
