    I'm also with Powergen...........3 Bedroom House.

    £20 a month Electricity
    £25 a month Gas

    and that gives me a small credit each month.

    Both meters are read by myself every month and then I put the figures on my Powergen Internet account.

    (I did have a big problem on my Gas account a few months ago - which I'll post shortly !)

    If at all possible - I'd strongly suggest you take the above measures on getting linked up to an Powergen Internet account and that you give monthly readings.

    Better to spend a couple of months checking on the figures, than to sign up with someone else.

    Hope that this helps.

    Don't forget that powergen prices went up at the end of August so it maybe the extra for having gone up.

    As I was expecting about £56 quarterly dual fuel bill. It was £71 :eek: as prices for gas and electric had gone up. Readings are all correct as I took them and also take them monthly anyway.

    And miss stupid here missed seeing they where going up. So I am changing suppliers.
