LPG tank or bottles - clueless here :)
Wonder if some folks on here can help. Property currently supplied by 2 x LPG 47 bottles and looking for a better solution. Currently I have to remember to go and check them in the outhouse regularly then phone for new bottles and they seem very expensive. The heating seems to eat gas so for the last few years we have used…

Aircon air handler positioning

Advice wanted for replacement underfloor heating

Planning permission and air source heat pumps
We are beginning to think about getting an ASHP to replace the solid fuel heating (woodburner) currently in this house. However, as it's a barn conversion, permitted development rights have been removed so from my research it looks as though we'll have to apply for full planning permission. Conservation area too though…

Incorrectly Billed by Scottish Power - what next?
Hi All, Hoping for some sensible advice/wisdom from the informed folks on here. We moved in to our current property 4 years ago now - it’s out in the sticks and only has electricity and a biomass central heating/hot water system.

Bulk LPG prices - do they tend to be seasonal?
We've been in our first house with no mains gas for a bit over 18 months now. We'll come out of our initial two-year LPG contract with Calor in early January. Know it's a way off, but I'm seeing what look like fairly low prices mentioned on here at the minute and I'm just wondering if there's any seasonality to bulk LPG…

ALWAYS check with your current Supplier before switching energy.
MSE's Energy Comparison is very good & arguably the best available however their algorithm can't & doesn't allow for any "special" New Tariff your current Supplier may be offering. MSE's Comparison came up with some very cheap alternatives but when I checked with Avro, my current Supplier, their New Tariff if I stayed with…
