Energy searches
so might be a daft question, but I compare my energy on say cec, and it’s saving me £200, is that inclusive of the April drop or not? ( as if it already includes that, then there’s no point in moving as I’ll save nearly that anyway). Or am I saving £200 AND the April drop as well?

Octopus Go Intelligent Tariff - recent changes
Can anyone understand the recent changes? I've watched several YouTube videos and they all have a different interpretation of the new and highly complicated rules. It's very hard to make heads or tails. To make matters worse, a friend who's already with Octopus (I'm still considering, having now bought an EV) told me about…

Advice needed on Changing FIT providers
We know we can change FIT suppliers once in 12 months. We've never switched FIT supplier before so Scottish Power currently pay our FIT monies with the export based on Deemed 50%.

Looking for EV Electricity only tariff
I have looked in the Cheap Energy Club for an EV tariff, i.e. pay less over night. The results do not help very much as EV tariffs are not shown. When going to energy company sites they don't show their EV tariffs - easiest way found is to google the company with EV tariif. I currently am on Ovo with their Charge Anytime.…

Smart Meter
Since I had my new smart meter installed, it has been a nightmare, I have to charge £10 weekly and it runs out even when I am not at home for months, and every electrical item fridge etc is turned off. I have complained several time to British gas, and they have not even sent someone to check it out

Octopus dodgy meter changed and high bills refunded but need help with new charges.
Hello, Background I am helping a friend try to sort out their energy bill with Octopus. It's the electricity that has been the problem, so I will focus only on electric, even though he is dual fuel. At one stage in 2024 he had over £1,000 in credit (silly he now realises). It went from there to him being charged £2,171 for…

Energy and Broadband comparison with Spain
Just thought i would share this, I am wondering if the differences are due to Tax or profit from companies. We purchased a house in Spain in 2021, so sharing the prices in Spain then and also today, compared to the UK Broadband 600MB 20 euros per month in July 2021, price today still 20 euros (no increases) compared to my…

does this reading of a polypipe manifold gauge ok?
Hi I don't know what got to me and now I'm overthinking. I moved from thinking about replacing the flooring of the whole downstairs to researching my underfloor heating system (wet). Upon digging, I have the drawings and the zones and I can see the manifold under the stairs. The gauge reading is on 33PSI. Google says this…

Security Deposit caution - So Energy, maybe others
I recently switched to So Energy for electricty - well tried to. I signed up as a Direct Debit customer and fortunate to have good credit scores, so given their T&Cs: “Security Deposit” means an advance payment to cover any future charges. The amount depends on your individual circumstances. 3.5 Before we begin to process…

24/7 Help re cancelling policy
Due to loss of confidence in the company, caused by their engineer's mistake, I decided to cancel this policy.

Had I simply wanted to cancel…

Unpaid bill by tenant
A tenant has moved out of one of my properties without paying his fuel bill. What is strange is that the bill has been in the name of someone who has never been a tenant there. I don’t want to go into too much detail as it is quite unusual in other ways, and it may be connected to something else, but I need to know how he…

Hi all, I'm looking for advice regarding my current electricity situation. I moved into an all-electric flat supplied by Scottish Power in November.
