BG WebSaver 7 - Meter Readers
I signed up for WebSaver 7 in April this year when my previous price fix ran out. Submitted meter readings as required for the May bill, then the meter reader turned up a few days later.

Beware of npower billing calculations
I'm a bit annoyed with npower. Last October I switched to their Sign Online Dual Fuel tariff via uSwitch because it was the cheapest. I knew what my average annual usage was for gas and electricity when I switched (based on many years of previous bills) so I put in the kWh numbers and it came up with £42 per month for gas…

What rate would i be on for my electric?
I'm not sure if this is a stupid question to ask? I am in the process of moving over to E-On and need to give my meter readings in and they are asking for the rate but i cannot find it anywhere on the meter as it says on 'How to read' It is a mechanical meter with only one line of numbers so i assume it would be 'normal'…

How do E.ON discounts work then?
We have recently switched to a dual fuel supply from E.On. The paperwork states the amount per KWh, but another section states the discounts we get for the online tarriff, for Direct Debit and for dual fuel. What I'm wondering it, are the unit prices they quote inclusive or exclusive of the stated discounts? For example,…
