Caught Out By Switch
Having decided to switch supplier via Look After My Bills and the chance to save about £150.00. I was set to move from SSE to Symbio Energy. However, what I did not bargain for were bills of nearly £600.00 from SSE! I'm tempted to return to SSE making the assumption that exit fees will be cheaper from Symbio. Any…

Switch2 query
My second property was vacated by the sole tenant as lockdown hit. They left to go back to the middle east due to lockdown, having not paid their final bill. Switch2 have emailed me asking for the outstanding balance (just over £100). Am I legally required to pay this considering bills were not included in my tenant's rent?

I have been a customer of GNE since November 2016. During May 2019 I was notified that my monthly Direct Debit would be reduced from £46.75 to £25.

Excessively Low Energy Quotes
How do I sort out which Energy quotes are not viable? I find that many of the low quotes only act as a 'come on', and after a couple of months at the low direct debit payments, the provider decides that I have to pay more, sometimes doubling the payments. This seems to me to be a bit of a 'con'.

E7/hot water problem
My hot water immersion is not coming on overnight. The switch on the consumer unit has not tripped and a plumber has changed the heater on the tank. I rent privately so I don’t really want to pay for repairs. The supplier says it’s the landlord’s problem and vice versa. The electrician has run a direct supply from the…

Energy Meters - do I have to have one?
Most of the top picks for my next switch with MSE energy club state that they include me having a meter installed. So legally do I have to have one if I choose that tariff? Or do I choose a supplier who doesn’t state smart meter installation? Thanks for your help.

Storage heater & E7
Hi all👋 I'm currently using a storage heater wired in to the wall that is meant to be running on E7. I noticed this morning that the storage heater didn't switch off at the wall until 8:44AM (Also heard the metre click at the same time) Does this mean I'll be paying higher rate electricity from 7-8:45? Or because the metre…

Central heating problem
Just put the central heating on to check all ok before the winter arrives. All 4 radiators upstairs are working fine, three of the four downstairs are not working, bled all the rads and got a fair bit of air from one of the bedroom ones but still three of the rads not heating up. Boiler pump etc only three years old.
