Wee Mikey Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I've not had the heating on for over a year now. Scottish Power can do one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH11_2NL Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Her indoors woud have the heating on all day every day if she could. I relented last night as it was a bit cooler. We've just moved to an older cottage with a coal fire so i'll be getting the sweep in to open it again. Lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1971fozzy Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) One our daughters has moved back and I’m dreading the winter heating bills as she will be home, whereas her mum and me will be working. Normally no heating on until 6pm - 10pm but can’t have her freezing. Bloody shame it’s got to this. The world is a feked up place right now and who knows when it’s going to end Edited October 16, 2023 by 1971fozzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartandsoul Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Reluctantly had to put heating on for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon as was feeling really chilled. Hate this time of year having to give these money grabbing energy companies money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day@theraces Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 If it was up to me the heating would still be left unused, but one of my polish housemates has had it on near constant for the past few weeks. I thought the polish winters would have hardened him up a bit the chilly weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 General question here, but for those who have not been using your heating, and you pay by direct debit, has your monthly payment reduced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine didnt but I requested a refund of part of the credit amount on my account. This was quite a few hundred. I was told that this was to see me through winter but this had been accumulated over about a year. To date my DD has remained the same. Heating isnt on yet and will only go on in the winter when I have my kids at weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish Power allow you to set your own DD amount which using your last 12 months usage shows the impact on your balance at the end of the year. Assume not all providers allow you to do that ? We’ve just reduced ours by £100 a month as we have a credit of £1200 going into the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fxxx the SPFL Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Just got our update from British Gas it says we are currently £606 in credit and by May 2024 we will still be £120 in credit when i went to ask for a refund it says we can't because we may use more during the winter what a lot of bollocks. Our current DD is £120 per month what a shower of sheisters i think i'll amend it to £20 for one month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Thanks for the replies. I'm with E:On Next, dd of £220 pcm (Gas & Elec) but a fair bit in credit. They tend to alter the DD up or down but I don't know if I can change it myself. I'm probably just lazy and let it build up to cushion any future increase! Plus they are at me to get a smart meter and I can't be ersed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 BUt my point is, I suppose, if I am paying for it already via DD, then no issue in putting heating on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're shopping around for a new supplier, you have to remember to subtract the amount of credit you have with the old supplier from other supplier's prices for the year to make sure you're getting the full picture.
