MSE Exclusive - Next Fixed 16m V1 - Switched to wrong tariff
Hi, I have requested to switch to the E.ON Next - Next Fixed 16m V1 (already an Eon client, but on a tracker tariff) using MoneySavingExpert "Cheap energy club". However, Eon switched me to Next Fixed 16m V2 tariff, which is slightly less advantageous. Anyone else had the same issue? Thank you

Trust electric radiators
I have been looking at these radiators. They are so expensive but claim to use half of an oil filled radiation such as the rointe ones. Has anyone got any experience or specialist knowledge or advice on them ? Are they worth the outlay to save the energy costs long term ?

Smart gas meter blank since April. Octopus unresponsive.
In Early April 2023 our smart gas meter display went blank. Our IHD stopped giving gas readings at the same time. I reported this to Octopus by phone who asked me to press the buttons on the front of the meter, take photographs, and send these to them. I did this for all button pressing options. The meter remained blank,…

EDF Energy monitor with solar panels
I have a smart meter and a shade greener solar panels. I am wanting to change energy suppliers possibly to EDF. Does the energy monitor from EDF show when you are using solar energy. I am currently with Scottish power and it shows a pylon. I am wanting something similar so I know when to use free energy.

All electric flat w/ Electric heaters (Not night storage). Best option for hot water?

British Gas Homecare - point of concern
Cancelled mine because I had a relatively new boiler and got it for an annual service. However to ensure you qualify for the manufacturer’s warranty your boiler must be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines - or you lose it! British Gas told me when I asked that they do not service or maintain your…

Comparison site for EV or TOU tariffs
As per subject - is there any comparison site that works with EV or TOU tariffs? Compare the market has a flag for it but it doesn't seem to work - it says there are no tariffs available when I know of at least a few. Uswitch doesn't even have a flag for it.

I'm contemplating it as an experiment but would be great to hear how easy it was to do. Has…

Economy 10 timings and move to smart metering (Merged)
Hi all, Not sure if my original post was in the best thread, so I am posting to a new one...

Background: We have an RTS telemeter, two MPANS and three readings, supplying what…

Is British Gas defrauding us?
Hi everyone. Following a year of problems with BG and Ofgem awarding me almost £600 in compensation I've been keeping a close eye on my bills (which they still keep getting wrong) I've noticed something peculiar.
