When Octopus reply to emails and miss the point - is it a Bot reply?
I'm just wondering about this and will be interested in any of your experiences or knowledge. When Octopus reply to an email and their reply is incomplete, or some questions have been ignored, is it possible that a human has not replied? Is there any way of knowing? It is disappointing when they reply: "Thank you for…

Boiler not working after smart meter installation
We had a gas smart meter installed 10 days ago by Octopus at their insistence and ever since then the boiler keeps giving out and displaying an error message indicating inadequate gas supply. We believe that the installation has caused a drop in gas pressure. We have contacted Octopus who told us to get someone out…

Scottish Power prepayment
Looking for advice. I recently moved from a flat where SP was the supplier on a prepayment meter. They have sent me a final bill for nearly £30 despite the fact that I was in credit and have never used emergency credit or owed them a single penny. When I questioned them they resorted to a set of reasons non of which apply.…

Gas & electric from same supplier but on single fuel tariffs
Hi, we've recently moved into a new property supplied by British Gas and we get both gas and electricity from them, but they have told me that they are unable to merge the accounts, so that I can benefit from a dual fuel tariff.

Credit Balances Eon
Why is it so hard to get refunds for credit balances promptly? Eon make you wait 10 working days and then put up your monthly DD. This is just wrong and the regulators should stop energy companies from doing this.

Thermal door curtains
Has anyone had any experience with these, or similar products? I've noticed that it's cold around one of my back doors. And, also my kitchen and the rest of the house have no door, which lets warmth out, and also moisture from the kitchen to spread through the house and give my dehumidifier a workout.…

Econ 7 washing machine and noise
This might be one for another thread but I am looking to replace the washing machine, mainly as it is very noisy and the floor shakes when it's on. Being on the top floor, and only using the machine overnight on Econ 7 times, this is a big deal. At the same time, I don't want one that will calculate the load as I need to…

OK, no issues. Shortly after I had my annual Boiler service via Baxi and

Octopus Energy have made my day!
I have a minor issue with my heat pump and in my discussions with them they found out I have been unwell for the last week or so. I got home from work today to find this waiting for me. I am lost for words, an unbelievably kind and thoughtful thing to do.

Scottish Power
I complained to Scottish Power, but they just refuse to deal with my complaint, or even acknowledge it. Because they won't deal with it, they keep phoning me up to nag me, which is starting to get annoying. Is there any way I can force them to deal with it, or do I just have to wait until 8 weeks have elapsed and take it…

New Build Heat Loss
Hi all, Recently moved in to a 4-bed detached new build (completed in June this year) and was curious if this level of heating fluctuation on the ground floor is normal or showing signs of a problem to anyone. Admittedly I had been away for a few days before this so the house had been cold with no heating on, but it seems…

Moving gas meter - but does supplier have to do it?
My gas meter is outside next to my neighbours' (we live on different floors of the same property). They want to move both our meters 1m or so across for aesthetic reasons (the meters are on his front wall). In principle I don't have an issue except it is a bit of a faff re discussions/admin. The neighbour was saying they…

Is it possible to be paid the 15p Octopus Outgoing rate for export and keep the FIT generation payment? I realise of course that the FIT export payments would stop.
