Home Energy Rates
Am new to Forum. I am with Home Energy for my Energy Supplier and am currently happy on their Fair Variable Dual Tariff since September 2025. The rate has not changed since I moved to them. For my estimated usage it is £2101 per year - I should note that this includes charging my electric Car. There are no exit fees so am…

Declined for the Warm Homes: Local Grant — is "your house is too valuable" a legitimate reason?
I inherited my late father's house in Wealden (East Sussex) — EPC G, my income is way under the £35K per year criteria, it's a 4-bed detached in council tax band G with an equity release mortgage. The deeds are still in my late father's name but I have Grant of Probate and I am the sole beneficiary. However, on the…

E.On Next trying to pull a fast one?
Be warned… About two weeks ago, I took a gamble and decided to take out a one year fix with E.On Next (my existing company). As we mainly use during the day I was sure to chose a tariff that had the same day/night rate and this was confirmed in the email confirming the tariff change. get my first statement post change and…

Bit confused about price rises (British Gas)
So I got an email from BG and it tells me my new rate but when I do a search for new energy the prices are wildly different, the yearly prices on the new ones are way out compared to BG so what am I missing?

Switch now (while in contract) or wait?
I am currently with Outfox Energy. For context I am paying 83/month (£997/yr) - no, I don't think I can cut down further… If I were on the price cap I would pay £1190 now and will pay £1350 from July. My contract ends at the end of August, but I could switch internally at no extra cost (I have done it countless times with…

Tariff ending & at a loss what to do.
I’m at a bit of a loss as to what the best next step is. I’m on Octopus Money Saving 10 month fixed which ends on 9 August. With the July cap I’m really most sure whether I should switch now or hold off and see if any deals come up. Switching would look like Fuse is my best option. My useage is 25491kw and 4549kw annually.…

British Gas Backbilling Dispute
Hello all. Looking for a second opinion regarding a backbilling dispute with British Gas. I was a British Gas customer from February 2024 until February 2025. My property was equipped with a smart meter and I paid monthly direct debit. However, I did not receive a bill until November 2025 for £1200, around half of which…

MSE Energy Club Switch
Update: Chat GPT suggests the answer to the first 2 questions is yes. Third question suggests waiting until 14 days prior at which time I can request the switch takes place on 2nd July. ...................................…..... I am currently with E.on. Energy club offers an E.on switch which is marginally less but with a…

Back boiler: replace with new gas boiler, electric, or heat pump?
I have a recently installed solar system, comprising 7x 475W panels, a Fox H1-5.0-E-G2-WL inverter and a single Fox EP6 battery; I'm still waiting for the G99 so I can get onto the Octopus tariff, but meanwhile I'm kindly donating my excess power to the Grid. It's fine for the Summer (the panels can do up to 4kW), but I'll…

Flexible Octopus Tariff, Price Capped?
MSE's Energy Comparison chart is suggesting that the Flexible Octopus Tariff is Price Capped. Yet, on the Octopus website it states the following: Flexible Octopus prices fluctuate with the cost of supply and usually update every 3 months Octopus are only offering two tariffs; Flexible Octopus and Octopus 12M Fixed So…

British Gas back billing
I’ve been a BG customer for many years and have switched tariff with them a couple of times during that period. I pay by DD every month. last year I noticed that BG had not cut a statement since March 2024. I contacted them and they said there was a technical issue with the smart meter (I had daily gas and electric usage…

How to reunite separate gas and electric with an EV tariff.
I’m struggling to find a place that will allow me to search for this. Currently have electric with Eon Next, but there are better rates with eg Edf, but then I can’t see the married gas rates. Searching gas alone (as current supplier OVO aren’t offering anything enticing) points to ecotricity or fuse. I don’t know if these…

Multiple EVs on a Zappi charger
hi all. I’ve been happily running a first EV using a Zappi and IOG for the past 9 months, with IOG linked to the Zappi (not the car). We’re now thinking of adding a second EV - a MINI (since my wifes car was recently written off). To my mind there would be no issues charging either car in. Anyone confirm that I’m not…

Meter Profile Class change
Has anyone been through a meter profile class change? I'm in a property that used to have an Economy 7/dual rate meter which I've since had changed to a smart meter, I also got my energy provider (OVO) to give me a single tariff rate for both the peak and off peak readings. I've asked them to change my meter profile to…

Infrared Heating for Home
Not sure the best place for this and a quick search showed only posts from over 10 years ago for IR heating. I live in a flat in a converted church. Solar, heat pump and gas are all out of the question. We have old electric panel heaters (dunno if I'm using the right name really) but they are Consort, 2000KW I think and…

Plug Solar appears to be arriving via certification, not a new plug standard.
One interesting observation from following the UK's plug-in solar journey over the last few months: A lot of electricians and standards specialists argued that the UK didn't actually need to rewrite BS 1363 from scratch to reach the same destination as Germany. Their view was that a workable route already existed: • Create…

Octopus Tracker
I just wondered about people's experiences with this tariff and whether they feel they are winners or losers. I got a quote from them yesterday, and I have to say I find the numbers highly misleading. The figures are very attractive, beating even the good fixed rate tariff I got from Avro, but presumably based on an…

What are Utility Warehouse E7 Off Peak hours Eastern Region
Hopefully a straightforward question but due to my incompetence I don't seem to be able to find the answer on the UW website and their CS don't seem to know and it is not on my bill or any of the paperwork I have had from them. What are the E7 night rate hour sin Eastern region and how do they change for BST/GMT when the…
