Caution with CheapEnergyClub, wrong rates!
Just a word of warning, best to double checking it's all correct before ploughing ahead with the recommended default! I was checking if my current dual energy fix was still good or worth changing.

Economy 7 smart meter working on single tariff
I was wondering if someone could provide some advice. I had a Bulb smart meter installed (generation 2) in Feb 2022, replacing my previous 'regular' economy 7 meter.

Double charging / counting on my electricity bill?
The more I look at my bills the more confused I become! For the last period I noticed a massive spike in electricity usage which having done some calculations for the power hungry appliances in my house I'm still not sure how it would have been possible to use that much. I did the meter creep test and all fine. I started…

Dimplex hub with quantum
I know there was a discussion on this but if anyone uses their storage heaters with a dimplex hub can you please help? I didn't think it was worth getting a hub as the quantum has so many settings on it it seems enough. However, would a hub be able to cope with the following: if I go away and set the quantum on holiday…
