Anyone heard of HomeEnergy?
I'm with Octopus in a 3-bed semi. I was lucky enough to sign up for fixed dual fuel for 2 years in June 21. So this ends in 4 days time. I hardly use any gas at all ever. I won't be using much LX either until it gets cold in September. Most comparison sites appear to have decided to give up. Weird. However, I found one…

0% boiler deals - which are the best
I'm going to need a new boiler some time in the next 12 months. I won't qualify for any of the grants and schemes as I earn too much, but I live alone so have to watch the pennies.

Reduction to existing fix rates from April - will there be a cut off date for signing up?
I asked this in another thread, but maybe it needs a space of its own. My fix rate tariff ends in early April. I’m aware of the “£150 reduction” coming up from 1st April and I know that the energy companies are (mostly) planing to apply this reduction to their existing fixed rate customers too by reducing the fix that they…

How quickly do Big Energy Switch options run out?
Evening all, I'm currently with Octopus on their Money Saving Octopus promo tariff. The tariff does have a £25 exit fee per fuel, however the new British Gas tariff is about £120 cheaper per year compared to Octopus (shocking to me, but I assume Octopus are no longer the great deal they used to be in the past) A couple of…

I checked the energy club today to look at the latest deals and see the savings include the cashback. I've contacted the energy club and the response is that they have not…

What energy tariff should I be considering for a Phev?
Currently on Octopus Loyal 16M Fixed at 24.5p and 66p standing Lec, and 6.62 and 29.3p standing Gas. We have a Phev. It's only 14kWh, but it would be nice to have it regularly topped up at a cheap rate overnight from a standard socket at 2.4kW. No interest in adding the more powerful charger (3.7kW?) as that would require…

Collective deals missing
I am checking my Cheap Energy Club recommendations as my fixed contract is about to end but I don't see the collective deals for BG and Fuse. I see other deals from these two providers further down the list but not the collective deals referred to in the MSE newsletter. Do others see these deals or are we supposed to do…

Smart Meters Supplier IHD Customer Exploitation
Just switched from Octopus Energy to another of the large ‘big six’ established energy suppliers.

"Home Energy" - curious why mentioned so little on this board...
When my lovely Sainsbury's Energy fix ended last November, I mentioned on here that I'd moved to (what I think is) a small supplier called Home Energy - they were offering their SVT slightly below cap, and over the past few months, it's all been absolutely fine. Today I got an email from them regarding the upcoming cut to…
