LPG, heating oil, solid & other fuels

Hey. Looking for some advice. I live on a LPG metered estate with 7 houses. When I moved in I was offered a contract in 54p per litre for LPG on a contract or 56p on a non-contract basis. The other day we all received a letter from Flogas increasing our prices by 20%. They are quoting the reason for this as an increase of…

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. I'm switching them to Bulb.co.uk Encouraging…

My opinion, your statement. Smart meters are free is wrong. My latest ( newsletter) Companies have been given to go ahead to to claw back the 11 billion from consumers after completion of the roll out. Many Experts say there are Safety, Health, and Fire issues. Some meters have not allowed users to change suppliers for…

I have an ongoing conversation with British Gas in regard to the Safeguard Tariff, but both sides need to confirm what the cap value is? I know this applies to Pre-Paid Meters and those in receipt of the Warm Home Discount, but the Ofgem website is not clear what the cap value has been set at. The closest information I…

Has anyone signed up for the new e.on deal which offers a 12 month Amazon Prime subscription. I signed up a month ago but there is no sign of an email with a code for Amazon. I feel that this might be a bit of a rip-off from e.on but would be interested of other people's experiences. Have tried phoning e.on but they could…

I've been asked by my MD to obtain some prices from various places in order to work out which is the best way forward for us..We are a commercial property, not a residential property. How do I know that the prices I'm obtaining aren't specifically for residential customers? I have put our annual usage into the comparison…

So Scottish Power came today to replace our meters with smart ones. They switched off gas and electricity, replaced the meters and when they switched gas and electricity back on the boiler wasn't working. The engineer was from a company Actavo contracted out by SP and after discussing with his manager left us with SP's…

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…

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…

Hello maybe someone can share experience? 1. Does anybody has Air - water Heatpump with radiators (not underfloor heating)? 2. Better with cast iron radiators? And how works? 3. What type radiators better choose for low temperature heating (radiators ~55C) ? 4. What kind of type Altherma You use (bi- combined with solar or…

Hi all! Looking to have a wood burner installed... We plan on building a small hut (if that’s the right word) to house the burner so it’s appears set into the wall from the living room. We are going to need a lintel to achieve this... My question is can my HETAS installer (who has many years experience) self certify this…

Hi, i have been recommended a few gas boiler breakdown companies for about £8 to £9 a month, but they don't cover LPG. Anyone out there that could recommend one for a normal LPG boiler.

We had a multi fuel stove fitted late winter last year and just burnt kiln dried wood on it for a month or so this year we will be using it properly to warm the house but what is the most efficient fuel to use? I got in touch with my local supplier and he gave me a price list and I haven't got a clue what's best to use:…

Hi all, Wondering if there is any Thermaflow experts on here who can help with a problem I am having with my heating in my home? We inherited a Thermaflow boiler from the person who previously owned the house, apart from the expansion tank going flat it has been running fine for both of us, enough hot waters for showers,…

Hi, Not sure if this is the place to say but i couldnt find a way to comment on the Cheap Enegy Club part of the website... Im trying to compare my Bulb tariff with others but the details are incorrect so it tells me others are cheaper but when i do the math they arent. The Vari fair charges on my account are listed:…

Hi all, I’ve made some shredded paper briquettes for my chimnea thing, I cut out all the plastic windows from envelopes, I soaked the shredded paper, I used a briquette maker, I dried them in my airing cupboard for 3 weeks (I haven’t had the heating on so they didn’t dry as quickly) and they are absolutely perfect, I could…

Hello, Bought this boiler in May and it has worked fine throughout the summer months in summer mode (just for hot water). Changed it to winter mode yesterday but having an issue and I hope someone can help. I have a Salus rt510tx thermostat and it is sending for the boiler to turn on. The only way the boiler will turn on…

If you have any wind blown trees or timber. I am always on the lookout for timber in the Beds, Bucks, Herts area they want to get rid of.. It's really frustrating at this time of year when there is lots of wind blown stuff around and just can't seem to get to it. I would happily come get it from you as long as it’s…

Hi, i intend to install a TAS valve on my log burner, the valve that stops it overheating.. - does anyone know how often and how much hot water it expels...? i.e.: a litre per hour etc... - I would imagine that it will always be close to boiling point so will frequently expel hot water..!? Many thanks Eddie
