Gas disconnection rip off
I am all electric now and want to avoid the monthly standing order. Has anyone in the South East had any success in getting gas removed at a reasonable cost ? Octopus told me to get my network operator SGN to cap off the gas before they will take the meter away. SGN ( owned by the Toronto Teachers Pension Board ) want…

Alternative Fuel Payment - with Eon Next you can request they transfer it to your bank account :)
I'm with Eon Next for electricity and we pay by direct debit. The £200 payment was credited to our Eon account. I just got the usual email telling me my DD payment for next month, and it wasn't reduced at all (I was expecting zero for a few months or something while that £200 got used up). Logged in and they seemed to be…

It has been announced that the Winter Heating oil payment of £200 will be paid directly to my electricity supplier. Will my electricity supplier be forced to refund the money to enable it to be used on my heating oil bill ?

Solar Panels and Outfox the market
At the beginning of February Outfox the Market (my current dual fuel supplier) said that my DD would have to increase in line with the rising cost of fuel. I explained that I didn't agree to that as I was about to have Solar Panels installed which should reduce my bills significantly. I was told to call back once they were…

LPG contract going to run out in March. Do I have to sign up then, or can I wait until Summer?
Hi Small question as a new-ish LPG user: our Avanti contract is going to run out in March (we will hopefully have a full tank by then, if they actually manage to get to us in the next week - but that's another story. Grrrr). Do I have to sign up (with them or someone else) immediately so there is no break in contract…

£200 Alternative Fuel Payment can be used by Suppliers to pay Your Electricity Arrears
EDF have refused to refund my AFP, despite my electricity account being £383.17 in credit. Despite having promised to do it when it arrived, they are insisting on another meter reading before releasing it. I gave them a reading on 4th Jan & I'm not due another bill until April as I'm a quarterly direct debit customer.…

Solar panels without Smart meter?
We are in the process of applying for a government grant/ interest free loan for ASHP through Home Energy Scotland. As part of the application an advisor phoned me today to suggest we consider Solar panels as part of the application as there is additional funding (unspecified) towards that. Our existing heating is oil, but…

So the discretionary fund is.....**drumroll**.......£100 measly quid!?
Am I reading this right? :open_mouth: Guess we can just go ahead and order our heating oil then. :( I wonder how people will get their £100? How can the government check if you have an oil-fired boiler? A scan of your latest receipt for heating oil? I sense a hoop coming our way.

Domestic Heating Oil prices - have they about stabilised?
I notice that the price for domestic heating oil noticeably went down a couple of days ago but has recovered somewhat today. As I will soon need a top up for my tank should I be biting the bullet now or is the price likely to drop again? Alternatively, are there any web sites or blogs which make fairly accurate predictions…

Solar Together (London Mayor initiative) - appalling lack of service from the installer
Hello to fellow forum members I'm sure we're not the only ones who have been thinking of installing solar panels recently. We took part in the Solar Together initiative marketed by the London Mayor, paid for survey and since then, it's all been downhill. The survey deemed our property suitable for the panels, and an…

How much heating oil do you use?
I filled my 500l tank just under a month ago, and now it’s empty again?! It’s never ran out this fast. Heating has been on a little more than usual as it’s been so cold but it has on other years too without it running out so fast. Surely this isn’t right? I can’t afford another £500 :( I have a 2 bedroom semi, heating…
