Moved into a house with LPG - tips.
I've just moved to a house with a 2000 litre LPG tank. Calor has suggested that i half-fill it for £700 to see how I get on before making any decisions about contracts. This seems sensible as there is only 19% left in the tank, which is about 25 days worth and they need 14 days notice to come out. Do you have any advice or…

Good LPG deal?
I'm new to LPG and was advised to contact LPG Save who have offered me 50p per litre (plus 5% VAT), £60 p.a. standing charge for a 24 month contract with Flogas. Also, they will sweeten the deal with a £40 gift card for M&S. Is this a good deal in your opinion?

Heating oil rebate
3 months since announcing the £400 electricity/gas grant, the UK Government have still not advised when those using oil for their heating will receive any assistance or how it will be rolled out. I believe it will be a measily £100 which will but about 1 week worth of oil (current ppl is approx £0.95) and won't be of much…

Solar install without MCS registered installer

However, there are times when the solar panels are generating more than the battery can store, so some power is going back to the grid. I'd like to sign up for a feed in tariff to get paid for the excess power I'm generating, but it seems that an MCS…

LPG Boiler Service Contract
I've just had our renewal come through for our Worcester Bosch (Domestic & General) Service Contract and it'd increased £10 to a ridiculous £38 per month.

Cheapest supplier of smokeless coal/briquettes this year?
Does anyone have the best prices for smokeless bags of 'coal' this year please? I normally buy from a local chandlery, and it's gone from £12.50 for 25kg to £16.50 for 25kg this year. This might be the best price I can get it, but I just wondered what other people are paying for this kind of fuel, and if I can get it any…
