Farking EON

66 pq? My bill gas and elec. is 94 pm! But then I have children and a wife who's addicted to heat (the thermostat is on 25 year round) and the gas fire. But the house is well insulated at least.

Anybody know how much those micro-windmills generators(sic) cost?

Snap! My missus complains of a chill if it's not sub-tropical in our place. Last Saturday (warmest/nicest day of the BH weekend in our part of the world), she put the fire on in the evening because she was "a bit chilly"!

Anyway... I heard that those little windmills cost about £3k to be put in, but apparantley they reduce your bill over time as you end up feeding power back in to the grid. They reckon on average consumption it takes about 10 years to pay for itself. Might be worth a go if you're a heavy user?

I am also with Eon, am equally frugal as yourself in a 4 bed detached and my last quarter gas plus electric bill was 66 quid. I'd better not try saving any more then !!

Well as a race your lot prefer the cold, your electricity bill in a mythical hot British summer could be a pig with the aircon set at high, admittedly there's beggar all chance of that.

Bunch of muppets.

I think they fail to believe that anyone in this world can be energy efficent.

This is just me. I live on my own, everything in this place is energy saving. No computer left on (only use a laptop). To light every room in this flat takes about 30w of light. I'm a realy anal guy and if I'm making a cuppa I'll put one cup of water in the kettle etc. Turn off all the lights mot in use etc. So I don't waste energy.

Got an e-mail to say that I needed to give a reading. Did so, entered them online. Got my bill for the first quarter. £280. flip me I thought. The estimated readings were immensly high. I think they might think I am running a cannabis farm. Now they estimated I'd use 2000kw/h in the 3 months. I used less than 600.

I phoned them to ask why they hadnn't used the meter readins I gave and the repsponse was that they were too low so the system had rejected them.

What a crock.

Eh!

I use about 2000 units per year and have done so for as long as I can remember. And that's without trying.

to suggest that 600 pq is too low is utterly ridiculous.

Yeah but this is a elec only place. So used for heating water/cooking also so maybe thats why they thought it was low.

I think it must be becuase the last guy used a mother load of electric.

Eon are complete idiots. I've had nowt but bother with them since last August. I've now left them.

I know someone who was working abroad last year so his utility bills suddenly dropped. The company, I don’t know who, refused to accept the consumer reading and insisted that they inspect the meter. They were told no because he was abroad, but then they decided to apply for a court order to remove the meter and install a pre-paid one because they suspected tampering. No amount of explanation would suffice. In the end he had to delay a flight back to work for one day so that sum numpty could spend 30 seconds reading the meter. He just got a bill showing him in credit; no word of apology or anything. The obvious thing to do would be change suppliers, but they are probably all the same on that sort of issue.

I suppose the lesson to be learned if you are working away or any other reason why there may be a change in the consumption is to tell them first and get them to do the reading and inspection at the start.
