    Is that the washer or dryer???! ;)
    Out of curiosity how much power does the Wattson say you pull for the washer & how much for the dryer?

    Thanks

    Washer only Shavy; can't be doing with dryers. If you go to my Wattson at Home - down to the 'Time History section - click on cost - hover over each red bar from 11:00 - 13:00 you will see per hour. Reckon around 1.11 kWh - £0.12p Total.....:rotfl:

    Anyone else get their FiT from SSE? I`m still waiting for them to let me put in another reading. Got a letter back in November I think, saying they were updating their system and no readings would be taken till around Feb but we`d all get a letter requesting this. This ring any bells for anyone else?

    P*sses me off as they take ages to pay up once you submit anyway :p
    Yep, I'm waiting, 5 months since I gave a reading, luckily I'm not that fussed and it's not going to break the bank but still....not good enough

    The guy who sold us our system said go to Good Energy as he got his FIT payment from them. Followed his advice and it takes about 10 weeks from when we submit a reading until we get our money.

    Next reading due: 20 Mar 15
    OFGEM pays Good Energy: 15 May 15
    Generators paid: 2 weeks later!

    Last one was paid 19 Feb from a reading submitted 19 Dec.

    Anybody changed their FIT provider? if so how easy was it?

    You really don't know how much I'd like to do that, unfortunately me and SSE have a longstanding issue and I'm stuck with them for another 22 yearssmiley-angry039.gif
