Hello everyone, I need an advice what my options are with British gas. We noticed high gas bills when we switched off the heating this spring becuase it was very hot weather. But the bill we received in June 2026 was even higher than for winter months. Obviously we started to investigate and first thought about the boiler…

just had my email from switch together (ichoosr) collective currently on Octopus Standard variable tariff as when my mse fix ended in August there was not much else around to fix to so though we would see what happens with rates also with the looming jan price increase Just got email with collective switch from BG and in…

I need some help please. Get your popcorn because this is mental!! I recently moved into a new place (renting) and my agent was trying to get me to use a company they have ties with to set up all my bills - energy, water, council tax, internet, everything! I eventually declined this service as reviews showed they were not…

Eon next have invited me to sign up for their PowerUp event tomorrow from 10:00am to 12:00pm. “Your target is to use 1% more electricity than you usually would during this time” “If you hit your target, we’ll give you £0.20 credit for every extra kWh of electricity you use.” Anybody else participating?

Just adding fuel to the fire in the campaign against routinely overcharging vulnerable adults. My elderly relative was being charged over £400 a month for her one bedroomed sheltered accommodation. She continued to have money taken for a year after her death despite zero energy usage. The money did come back automatically,…

Hello everyone. I used the MSE energy club to switch to an EON next fixed tariff (EON Next Fixed 16m V1) back in January which came with MSE cashback. It tracked correctly on the mse site and stated it could see we were in a switch etc and to check back another time for progress on cashback. Now today when I login to my…

I recently leased an EV (Mini Cooper SE) through Octopus, and they have offered me their Octopus Go (EV saver) tariff: 6.6p per kWh from 11.30pm to 5.30am, 36.91p per kWh from 5.30am to 11.30pm, with a 47.47p daily standing charge. My current tariff is an Octopus dual-fuel all-day rate of 21.84p per kWh + 41.59p daily…

Does anyone know what the telephone number to top up a PAYG smart meter is? I found one that ends in 7111, but when I ring it it says it's no longer in use, call the general number ending in 9950. When I ring that, none of the options seem to lead to a top up option. The closest one was 2 (find out your balance, make a…

just got a email with new rates

Where do we fit in this world of power savings? Nearly everyone I know is making savings somewhere. But my neighbours and I don’t fit in these areas of savings to be made. Too far out from anywhere to have ev chargers. Solar panels are the right of the landlord. Too far out from anywhere to have gas. Heat pumps are looking…

We have just transferred from OVO, we are waiting for our final bill. The account was a couple of hundred pounds in credit and we expect most of this will be returned to us. Normally the bill arrives in the first few days of the month,we are concerned that its taking longer this time despite smartmeter final readings. Is…

We are on the EDF EV tariff and currently use 2/3 of our electricity at the cheapest rate. It's a great deal for us for cheap electricity. But the associated gas tariff for this electricity tariff is simply the standard variable gas tariff I looked around a few months ago for a better tariff, and chose the Fuse Single Rate…

Hi, i am shopping around as you have to nowadays for a new electric supplier, as i just got a 20% raise in off-peak & a whopping 39% in normal rate. Then i came across EDF prices & there EV tariff seems ok compaired to others. Do you know if I can charge my home solar batteries up on this tariff ???

Happy New Year! I thought we need a new Thread to discuss this - because not everyone uses Facebook. Has anyone else heard anything? 

Octopus have temporarily stopped switching / sign ups for their Flux tariffs. The following notice appears on the pages for Flux and IOF: Important: Energy prices are particularly volatile right now, so this tariff is temporarily unavailable. We’ll update this page as soon it’s available again.…

I am on OVO's Extended Fixed 10 April 2025 tariff that ends on 30 August 2026. Under normal circs I would use the Energy Club to sort out another fix. However this year our circs are different. We had solar panels and a Tesla PW3 installed in March this year. Been excellent, not used a unit from the grid since its install…

So Energy has on the 15th August added some 3365kwh on top of my normal metered usage ! Changing my meter reading overnight from 8900 to 12,265! I called them and the came back after 10 minutes on hold to say that it’s Industry data added on as well as your meter readings. I asked them what that was as I should only be…

Hi all, I'm in a property that has SMETS1 Smart Meters for both Gas and Electric - they were like that when we moved in. The people before us were with OVO, and I'm with Octopus. Both suppliers have been able to connect just fine to the SMETS1 meters and do the readings. I want to switch to Outfox because they are much,…

Hi, I would appreciate some help in helping me pick a tariff that would be good for me. The tools and info is great but I am still confused.
