Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone -
You are all highly paid professionals FFS and you can't afford to put the heating on or light a room?
Talk about contractor lifestyle...

It's all a cartel with little or no choice for the consumer and all equally as bad as each other, add in an ineffective regulator and we're all fookedOriginally posted by psychocandy View PostYep. Getting expensive. I though my £600 bill was steep mind....
Moving away from EDF to a cheaper provider now as well. EDF didnt help themselves by getting every single bill wrong in the year I was with them mind. Useless they are.
Trouble is I've moved to npower and should have checked first and apparently they are worse than EDF
How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't thinkComment

I made the move the other way round (npower to EDF) and I think EDF are worse. Since signing up with them on a fixed rate deal in august they haven't been able to send me one correct bill and took five months to move my gas over completly resulting double bills from the two suppliers ... complete tulip. I prefered npower but I think they are all bad at billing.Originally posted by psychocandy View PostYep. Getting expensive. I though my £600 bill was steep mind....

Also went to the variable direct debit (you need to put in your meter reading in each month) which changed the direct debit amount by huge amounts which EDF do not tell me in advance whereas the same thing on npower would just change the account balance but keep the direct debits the same as usage drops in the warmer months obviously.
Bills for Dec - Feb have been about £400 but it's a warm house anyway without the heating being on.Comment

We left EDF when we realsied they had connected next doors stables up to our electric feed, thus coupling it's bill to ours. Once we noticed the bills had gone up a fair amount, about the same time there seemed to be power tools being used night and day over at the stables by the builders doing their house up, we called EDF to check. They sent someone over who kicked a few things about, said nowt was wrong, told us, quite abruptly that we could **** ourselves (paraphrasing), and that it was up to us to prove he was wrong, etc, so with the builders all there, and our meter going spinning, I simply pulled the plug on the fuses and all the buidlers started to look at their inoperable tools. Quite funny really, seeing the look on his face. Got loads back, including 2 days on the contract for being there when he was checking, and when they fixed it all up, despite working from home.
Then dropped them for BG, before adding all of the renewables.
Everyones on the make, best try and get yourself into a position where it affects you the least.Comment

No idea. I pay by DD and they send me an email saying my bill is available online, but never bothered to login and take a look.Originally posted by BrilloPad View Post

Not yet, flow is strong, stronger in winter natch, but we thought best get permission before we started looking at it properly. We had someone over, who told us we'd have to get permission, as there would ahve to be a slight re routing of the stream. I didn't have a clue, I thought as it was on our land, we could do what we want, completely wrong.Originally posted by Troll View Post
He did say we'd have enough flow, a range of about 1 - 3 m3 to be able to keep the head as is (about 2m), so we'd not need to do anything crazy.
Using that, we'd expect to get around 10-30 kW, which is on all the time. Obviously, there would be seasonal adjustments, which I hope that's conveyedComment
