E-on - meter reading and bill

macman

your consumption of 2409kWh for that quarter is very low.
This is a more accurate way of checking it:

just done that

We calculate, based on the information input that you are using 2,488 kWhs of gas. If you have this supplied by the least cost supplier this will cost you £99.79 per annum.

erm oops, ,try again I just put in 219 units instead of 2409kwhs

We calculate, based on the information input that you are using 27,373 kWhs of gas. If you have this supplied by the least cost supplier this will cost you £880.17 per annum.

No, you put in your metric or imperial unit consumption in the relevant field and it does the kWh conversion for you.

Josie64,

eon have changed their online billing a little bit recently. Now, when you put the meter reading in, it updates the balance immediately. You don't have to wait 24 hours for the bill to be produced and the balance to update.

...just had another e-mail from E-on saying my gas bill is ready to view - it's £95.42 - wow!

But beware that if its a reading to generate the quartely bill then sending in your reading triggers the bill ... this can cause the bill to be calculated before the last DD of the quarter is applied. This may well leave you with an unexpectedly high debt (as the bill only contains 2/3rds of the payments you're making in that quarter) which then triggers the "change the DD to eliminate the debt" mechanism. This just happened to me leading to a 50% increase in my DD (some small adjustment was probably needed as Eon have never really caught up with their failure to take any DDs from me during the first 2 months I was with them in late '09 due to general incompetence somewhere between them, nPower and the central meter reading reconcilliation service which meant it took them all a couple of months to agree that I had actually swapped suppliers)

Josie64

I don't pay by DD so that isn't really a problem for me but I make weekly payments online to my account so that hopefully I don't build up a large bill, I don't like direct debits, I prefer to control how much I pay weekly, at the moment I pay £8 week for gas (E-on) and £7.50 week for electric(british gas).

I used to have DD but cancelled them and changed to monthly/quarterly bills instead. if the companies object to me refusing to pay by direct debit again I just say that there wasn't enough money going into the bank to cover DD payments which will just bounce so I will pay online instead.

wow £91 - but that seems a bit low for a gas bill from november - february and during the cold weather as well, I hope its right though

we've had the heating on from 8am - 10am every day and then again from 6pm till midnight - gas central heating/hot water

Just had a bill from eon for Nov - Feb and equally happy although a little higher than yours as i am at home most of the day with my 22 month old daughter.

brewerdave

Don't know how you manage such a low consumption figure (2451 kwh) - mine for November to February is going to be more like 8000kwh !!!
Fortunately I'm on a cheaper tariff with discounts!
