RCD is tripping - has the smart meter caused this?
About 1 week after installing a smart meter, our RCD began tripping every night only after midnight. I had an electrician in, who said he couldn't find anything wrong and that it was probably an issue with the smart meter. I got the engineers in who installed the smart meter, who said the smart meter is not faulty, and…

Switching Gas Only?
I'm fed up with EBICO, which used to be brilliant but have become greedy. I want to switch, if I can find anywhere cheaper. But on the MSE website, all I can do is switch both gas & electricity - I don't want to do that! I;m happy with Good Energy for my electricity, as it is 100% non-fossil fuel and non-nuclear. With gas,…

EDF bill fraud suspicion
Leaving EDF. Was defrauded on one account but they refuse to help resolve (all the way up to CEO and Exec team). Now their Data Protection Officer refuses to provide account records for two other accounts we have as it would be "too costly" unless we pay for our own records.

Boiler has no pressure and not filling up
Hi, I've just moved into a new house and I don't have any hot water. I think it just needs repressurising but I'm not having much luck. The boiler is a Vokera compact 28. I've tried turning the black valve (I think it's called the release valve) but no water seems to be coming through. This should fill the pipe so I can…

Heating Options
We're considering buying a property to rent out that has only electricity - there is no gas to the whole area. We want to be fair landlords but obviously, have a budget because there is a ceiling on the rental amount. Currently, there are night storage heaters that are quite old but do work. What would you advise is the…
