Intelligent Octopus Go - EV Charging Schedules good, but being charged at peak rate
Hi. I'm on 3-phase supply so it's taken me a while to get a smart meter installed at home, in fact I gave up on British Gas (who kept sending single phase engineers) and moved to Octopus who sorted it quickly. It's a Kaifa meter which I've read means the Octopus Home Mini won't work, so no live readings but I can see usage…

Heat pump tariff
I had a heat pump installed by my landlord where it is now costing me almost £200 a month with Scottish Power. My house is set to 16 degrees, I’m in a small 2 bed house with my daughter and we are out most of the time.

Electricity Meter Serial No Discrepancy
I receive bills from EON for a meter that has a serial number different to the one written on the meter itself. If I check this with the energy supplier and find that they have been undercharging me ('though lovely if they'd overcharged), will I be liable for any additional payments to correct the discrepancy? Any help…

EON massive bills since switching
We switched to EON in January after doing a comparison on Uswitch it was supposed to save us money however our bills have tripled. Our Electric units have gone from 250 a month to 850 and it makes no sense whatsoever. The Gas appears to be high as well. We are on Smart Meters but I have to say I don't trust what they are…

British Gas billing (EV tariff)
Hi - I wonder if anyone is facing the same issues that I am...? I charge my car overnight on the BG EV10 tariff, which should give me a 7.9p kWh rate. Several times (I estimate around 10) I have woken up to see £10 plus on my home energy monitor. My Ohme charger app indicates that I have used around £2.50 - which is about…

In 2023 following the end of my fixed rate, I moved on to the Octopus Go tariff as I purchased an EV in the September of that year and following a conversation with an Octopus agent they said it would be best for me. In…

Octopus v EDF
I find this all overwhelming and tricky so please be kind... Currently on a flexible Gas and Electricity tariff with Octopus so thinking of switching to a Fixed one. Does this sound like a decent enough reason to switch and how does EDF compare with Octopus? Is my understanding right that I am likely to save more than £73?…

British Gas (BG) fuel fuel bill
Hi, I've just had notification of my bill from BG. It shows a credit balance of about £6 for electricity, which is quite clearly inaccurate to say the least. My meter readings are shown on my customer account, so BG are aware of my correct electricity consumption. Anyone else had this? Any idea why this should happen? I…

Worth switching fixes now?
Currently with Outfox the Market on a fix the is due to end in very early August. Apparently I can change to another fix without waiting for my current one to end, with them, without having to pay an exit fee. I've been mulling over whether it's worth switching to a different fix now, or waiting until later in the year to…
