Powerbank for an electric oil heater using Economy 7
Bit of a random thought. We're on Economy 7, cannot afford to do solar PV with a battery, I was wondering whether one of those big power banks people use for camping would be able to charge overnight then run an oil filled radiator as needed in the evening when our storage heaters have gone off. Anyone know about these…

overcharged for 1 day
I did complain to Eon. I've moved to my new property on 19th Jan 2024. Once moved in, next day, 20th Jan, gas and electric was under a different company's name and I still have the readings. I have received a letter from Eon on 10th October suggesting that I still have to pay for one day, 19th January 2024, £19.99. Similar…

Octopus customer - should I join "Tracker"?
Hi there. I'm on Octopus and currently on a 12 month fix until late summer 2025. Rates are fixed at a little below the current SVT and there are no exit fees. Should I switch to the Tracker? Seems like the Tracker rates are quite high right now. But over time it's usually a better deal, right? Can't decide!

Moving house - when to tell energy supplier
Hi all, some advice please. I'm hoping to move house shortly and I don't know when to tell my energy supplier. No sale is certain until you've actually exchanged contracts so if I tell them before that and the purchase falls through what do I do? I'm with So Energy. The seller of the house I'm hoping to buy is with Octopus…

ECO scheme and other schemes for boilers, tenants, not owner occupiers
So background, central heating exists, but boiler is now defunct (failed check and too old for replacement parts). Landlord unsurprisingly wants to install expensive to run, cheap to install electric panel heating system. Checked schemes, and I noticed owner occupier is more generous for no logical reason, tenant schemes…

EDF Shady Behaviour Help?
Hi, I have recently logged onto my edf account and there was a gas bill from 03/10 to 03/11 for 591.4400 kWh @ £42.43. When I checked my meter readings the reading on the 03/10 was 8 and on 3/11 was 57. I worked out I used 48m^3 of gas which works out as 540 kWh, when I rang and told them they said their system was right,…

Octopus Go and Economy 7
Has anyone here tried using Octopus Go tariff with Economy 7? We don't have an EV, but do have storage heaters, looking at the numbers on Octo-Aid to compare the tariffs it looks like it might work quite well. Though we'd lose 2 hours charging on the storage heaters, but the bulk of charging is at the start of the charge…

Smart Meter fitting aborted
My fixed tarriff with EDF came to an end, and the only way I could get their (or anyone else's) cheapest tarriff was to agree to have a Smart Meter fitted A fitting was booked and the engineer arrived. He said he was unable to fit me a new Gas meter, as the regulations say they have to be attached to the wall. My cellar is…

Malevolence from Outfox the Market
Just switched from BG to OFTM. Meter reads all confirmed, photos of meter read sent. New bill confirms the meter reads but MAGICALLY, they bill me on a fictitious estimate 1000s of kwh below the meter number. The correct number is actually on the bill but in the billing line below they've made a 'mistake' in the hope I…

Octopus Energy - My energy insights missing zeros on CSV files
I am a bit of a nerd and carry an Excel spreadsheet where I take the date from Octopus's "My energy insights" for both energy consumption and export back to them and put it on my spreadsheet to see how we're doing. For a while, there seemed to be no communication and the geezer came out and moved the antenna up a bit and…
