    Neon Reef don't do economy 7 ( although I did check the E7 box when getting a quote )
    Does that mean it's the same rate during the day as it is during the night ?
    Yes, you just enter both readings and they add them together.

    Ok thanks.

    Should I look for a provider which offer E7 tariffs for the night or not ?

    Yes, single rate tariff. If you have E7 you need to do a calc based on your annual day and annual night consumption on your current tariff and/or the cheapest E7 tariff you can find / would be happy with and then compare it to the total consumption of day & night combined on NR tariff.  You might find it still works out cheaper.

    If you have an E7 meter Neon Reef will happily bill both registers at the same rate.  Note that some comparison sites that check your meter automatically get flummoxed by this !

    @venomx  You've been in your flat for 2 years now -   in one of your earlier posts you gave a 50/50 night/day use.

    Have you an annual figure for the last 12 months  ?
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill
  • About 7 days ago I switched my mother from E.ON to Neon Reef in order to save her some money.
    It's early days, I have sent an email to Neon Reef asking a question about the transfer, it took them over 48 hours to answer the email.

    Today (about 3/4 hours ago) there was a man knocking on my mothers door. He was dressed in dark blue waterproof clothing, he was not wearing a mask, he had a small lanyard around his neck. He did not tell me which company he was from, he said he could save my mother money, I asked him where he was from, he would not say and from that point on he was rude, aggressive and asked questions about gas, electric and smart meters, he actually said that he did not have to answer questions, I did.

    After asking him 3 times he eventually told me he was from Utility Point, I said I do not have anything to do with Utility Point and closed the door.

    He could have been a scammer, he was very shifty, I have reported him to the police, a policeman has visited me and has opened up an "incident".

    I know that Neon Reef and Utility Point are tied together, this post is to let people know what has happened.

    He won't be a direct employee - just commissioned based "salesperson" at best - fraudster at worst !!!
