I am with eonNext for gas/elec and as my fix ran out today I took out a new tariff for 12 mths with the same company. However i didnt realise it wasnt a fixed rate and payments would change every 3 mths Because of this i have completed a switch tonight (with uswitch) for same company (eonNext) Should i have contacted…

As we know the Ofgem Price Cap is increasing on 1st October by around 4% for dual fuel customers. About one month ago I moved to Outfox’s Price Cap Tracker where the tariff tracks movements in the Ofgem Price Cap. Last week I was notified by Outfox my new unit prices for gas and electric. When I’ve calculated the increases…

Email from MSE says this tariff is available until 7 October but when I log in all I am offered is October 26 V1. How can I get the previous tariff? Or at least check if it’s cheaper? Many thanks

The title probably isn't that relevant, but I couldn't resist! Anyone of a certain age will remember The Clash! I'm currently with Octopus: Electricity - Intelligent Octopus Go (we have an EV) Gas - Octopus 12m Fixed September 2025v1 (due to expire on 31st October 2026) I'm aware that if I want to jump onto another fixed…

For GENERAL observations and information not related to specific suppliers.

Has anyone had their new smart tariffs from October , I haven't had my email yet, only 6 days to go. In July they sent mine out (no change) with 10 days to go.

I recently switched from Fuse to British Gas via a collective switch. However I have come across a problem. My smart meters are working correctly. Sending data to British Gas and displaying my usage on IHD. The kWh I use display correctly everywhere as does my gas usage and cost BUT My electricity COST is displaying…

My first EV (V2X ready) is coming in December. I am having a V2X charger installed, including a home gateway for island mode. I am presently with Octopus however as I wish to retain control of my charge / discharge schedule I will be limited to Octopus Go with a import export margin of only 2.5p for my region. I am not…

So i see on one of Martins facebook posts yesterday that i can leave my current provider up to 50 days before my fix ends and that i can sign up up to one calander month before that…. So im with edf on their Simply Fixed NOV26v8 with EDF (exit fees £100). Ive done the comparison and Utilita is coming up as the chepeast. It…

I received a letter in Nov 2021 from eon next saying they were appointed by Ofgem to take on Igloo energy supply customers. They advised that i had a final credit balance of £18.64. I have emailed them (eon) several times and they say that im not owed any funds. I have it in writing and have sent them the letter but their…

We're planning to get an EV charger installed. I've just ordered a Zappi Glo, and am getting quotes for installation. 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…

Hi, I'm currently in a mess with some high heat retention heaters in my aim to improve the energy rating of my house. It's an old build and so the wiring isn't particularly modern and I'm trying to get my head around what the best way to install these is. We've had economy 7 installed by eon and now have 2 electricians…

My Cosy Octopus fixed is about to expire. I have calculated how many Kwh I used for each tariff over the last 12 months and I have applied the new Cosy rates for Yorkshire to these usage totals. These calculations suggest that using Cosy would be marginally more expensive than a 12 month fixed tariff. We are careful to get…

Just a quick one … As an existing Octopus customer on a fixed tariff for another month or so, I assume if I decided to switch now, the new rates will be effective immediately? And according to those who've been keeping an eye on energy prices and what it could be in the future, is it worth switching to an 18 month deal? I…

Been a member of the cheap energy club for a while. I'm cuurently with Octopus on a monthly DD November 2024 v2 tarrif. According to the Cheap Energyu Club email, I should be eligible for the negotiated Octopus Energy 10 month fox but when I try and access it, I'm told I'm not eligible. Any idea why not? My Octopus account…

For those that are on Standard variable tariffs, is anyone thinking of fixing to combat January's predicted price rises? Following on from previous years, it seems to go down in summer so would it be best to wait it out and fix next year?

Did price comparison on Sunday, entered exact energy usage: Elec: 2,058 kWh Gas: 13,699 kWh MSE site gives me this: MSE site says can't give you the deal directly go to supplier website. Clicked the button to go to supplier website. Enter my details on supplier website, everything identical, Octopus gives me this (not 5…

On 1st Sept 2026 via the MSE Cheap energy club I applied for the above switch as my current contract ending 25th Sept 2026. Received confirmation email from MSE Cheap energy club that my switch was in progress and it should take place within 5 days. Having heard nothing from either new supplier or old supplier I have…

Very helpful people on here last year so am hoping for the same again: it's time to look at fixing. I Am currently with UW after somone pointing me in their direction last year. I have 2 quantums that can be manually timed so not necessarily dependent on ALCs I think and 2 others that can't be manually set. Had a few ups…

I think I've had this discussion before but what are the downsides of a quantum in the bedroom rather than a panel heater? Econ 7 makes it very expensive to have the panel heater (3 kw) on for very long to warm up the the room so most of the time the room is freezing in winter and running condensation (patio windows). High…
