BG are not advertising this, but you can have £300 off the cost of having radiator thermostats fitted for one month only if you have BG Homecare. we are getting 8 thermostats fitted for £132 pounds - less than the cost of the valves alone - and also includes draining the system and putting in cleaning chemicals.

Thanks, I have BG Homecare in my UK house and we were going to have this done anyway; I'll ring them tomorrow.:D

Hello again, I have rung BG Homecare this morning - they know nothing about this scheme.

Can I ask if you have a phone number/email address for this?

I'll pm you this enquiry as well.

Thanks

Penalties for existing customers on special tariffs:

Those on price protection 2007 and 2010 will be charged a cancellation fee if they come off that tariff. However it would be lunacy to do so.
There are 2 versions of price protection 2009. Version 1 (Price Protection April 2009) has a cancellation fee. Version 2 (Price Protection December 2009) does not have a cancellation fee. They are both now more expensive than the new rates, although not by much. They were cheaper than the old rates, so you have saved money so far. You will need to check which version you are on if you are thinking of returning to the normal rate.
Fix and fall is more expensive than the new rate. There is no cancellation fee.
Click energy has no cancellation fee.

On the BBC just now it stated that BG have now decided to waive the charges for leaving their all Price Protection tariffs - although the only one this affects in practice is PP April 2009; PP2010 is currently cheaper than anything else on offer; although that could change of course.

Did anyone manage to find any more details for this. No body seemed to know anything when I called.

Is there a specific number to call?

I've got hold of confirmation regarding PP2009, I haven't been able to get any confirmation regarding fees on other tariffs.
