Electricity meter help :/
Hi, I'm a student living in privately rented accommodation with a few friends. Im concerned about how much we're paying for our electricity, or rather how much we're apparently using. We top up about £90 a month, and for four people living in a small flat, I thought that a bit excessive. There is nothing on in the house,…

Smell of Gas - Urgent?
Hi I was after some advice please. I have just been outside to read my gas meter and when I opened the cupboard door I could smell gas. My neighbour was putting his bins out and I told him and he came over and said a slight smell of gas round the meter was normal! Is this true, do I need to ring somebody? I couldn't smell…

British gas cancellation charges
Hi there, Made the god awful choice of deciding to move back to BG on a duel fuel a few months ago. After approx 14 days, EDF got in touch and made a better off to remain with them. Now I am back with EDF, but BG are requesting a £60 cancellation (£30 for the gas account and £30 for the elec), plus the one month's service…

Unit electricty and gas prices
OK, so this is a very silly question, but is it possible to get a list of the electricity unit prices for a kwh from each supplier? I know *exactly* how much electricity I use on a daily basis (between 20 and 30 units) so I can translate the unit price into a valid price per annum. I appreciate, from the bills I've had…

New gas and electricity accounts
I've just moved into a rental property. When I spoke to the water company they said it was listed as uninhabited and created a new account. So for gas and electricity should I get a combined account or separate to save money? Do I just ring up whatever company and they'll sort out everything as long as I give meter…

Please help! Switched & charged twice!!!
Hi all. I recently used the comparison tool on here and switched supplier from nPower to E-On. Apparently i was going to be saved over £400 a year. For starters my first direct debit from E-ON is more than my nPower payments. Don't quite understand that. I gave a reading so it is not an estimate. But more alarmingly nPower…

New storage heater?
Hi, I have recently bought a flat which has a Dimplex CXLN storage heater (not sure what kW rating) in the living room (panel heaters in the two bedrooms). The storage heater is 17 or 18 years old.
