Energy Ombudsman
How good are they? I've just made a complaint about Tomato Energy. I switched at the start of Sept 24 and so far have failed to provide Octopus the flow D86 so Octopus can't issue final bill that has over £400 of credit.

There is a complication in that our main fuse is 60A and we've been advised that we will need to get it upgraded to 100A. This in turn will involve getting our main tails upgraded from 16mm to 25mm. I'm…

AgileBuddy
I've been using the AgileBuddy website for a while. I'm on Agile tariff and if I compare my use with Agile itself, I would expect it to say they are equal but it doesn't. It says that agile is a few pounds per month more expensive than my actual Agile tariff. It makes me wonder how accurate it is with the other tariffs…

Home Energy
My MSE Octopus fix is about to end and the Energy club found me some new fixes to look at. The cheapest is Home Energy, a small / relatively unknown supplier. There are no early exit fees and this switch is forecast to save us 10% on both sources, which is decent. Next ones on the list are the likes of So Energy, Outfox…
