Overpayment
I have over paid on my gas and electricity bill. When I enquired about this a few months ago my provider (British Gas) said that it was better to keep my account in credit in case I use more fuel over the winter months. I agreed to this but then realised my direct debits have recently decreased. I rang today and was told…

Help!!! I hate my Stovax Stockton 5 MF
I wonder if anybody out there can help me? Recently had installed my stove by HETAS engineer. However we seemed to be burning logs very quickly, about 35 mins each, high jets of air coming in and no controls despite shutting everything down.

Eco fan / thermometer question
Having just moved house we have a log burning stove. We remember when we viewed, the people had an eco fan on it and thermometer on the flue. We are now wondering if we too should buy one, but where do you start and how much would we need to pay as they seem to be quite a range. If you have one, or have changed yours,…

Worth switching gas supplier?
Is it really worth switching gas supplier? I am with British Gas, and were I to switch I could save roughly £250 per year bringing the yearly gas bill down to about £400. This assumes the BG price per unit stays fixed. One concern is that the switchers give a more up to date price, but BG will in a month or two come down…

Well after 8 years of having my Charnwood Cove 2 I have had it disconnected and have gone Bio.

We had a timber frame extension last year and running two stoves was killing us…

New boiler
My boiler has finally packed in today. I am disappointed because it is only about 5 years old. Surely boilers should last longer than that? It has broken down a few times lately and the engineer who comes out both times said it has needed cleaning. This time he said there was some green gunk in it which he cant understand…
