Cheaper Electric Cheaper Electricity Bills

Actually, there’s a common water connection at ground floor and water pump running from ground floor electricity connection. I always pay for the applicable water and electricity bill from my own pocket, where as water is used by all floor occupants in equal manner. But, Despite several reminders, other floor occupants do not contribute even a single rupee towards electricity / water usage or maintenance. What should I do? What are the legal options available to me? There is no written agreement between us.

If that doesn’t work – do not pay any more bills and the the utility/owner will shut it off.

Then see what they do??

I have moved into my first flat, i have chosen to go with Eon for my electricity. What questions will they ask me when i phone? what information should i have at hand? I want to pay in cash when I receive a bill, not direct debit etc.

Just to add to the other answer, if you don’t want quarterly billing (3 monthly) and then pay it in cash (for some, it doesn’t work well with their income or pay days) you can pay monthly in cash instead.

I use a payment card and have a set amount to put on each month. Easy! You can just ask for a payment plan card if they do one (most do) when you call Eon

Why solar PV technology is such a good investment.

The announcement by the government on the 1st April 2010 that homeowners investing in renewable technologies such a solar PV will be rewarded by being paid a feed in tariff of 41.3p for every unit of electricity they produce is great news for investors and those people just wishing to lower their carbon footprint and become less energy reliant. For the UK Solar Pv technology offers the best option in terms of its flexibility and ease of installation. Anyone with a south, south west or south east facing roof could benefit greatly from the addition of solar panels to the roof of their home.
The main benefits and advantages are:

• It could reduce your electricity bill by a third, half or to nothing depending on the size of system installed and the amount of electricity you use.

• The Feed in tariff pays you 41.3p for every unit of electricity you produce from 1st April 2010 and is guaranteed for 25 years.

• Get paid by your energy supplier by way of an export tariff for electricity that you don’t use.

• Modern systems have a guaranteed operating life of 25 years and will last up to 40 years.

• Increase the value of your home.

• Excellent return on your investment.

• Your own clean and renewable energy power source.

• Only requires daylight so will work all year long and even on cloudy days.

• Little or no maintenance required.

• Silent operation, due to solid state technology and no moving parts.

• In most circumstances no planning permission is required.

• Reduce your carbon footprint.

• Reduce the impact of global warming.

We’ve heard that it’s normal for people’s bills to have doubled and even tripled this winter because of the increase in oil prices and because it’s been the coldest winter in 9 years. Have you experienced this to be true?

Electricity in San Antonio is regulated, but areas that are deregulated (such as Dallas and Houston, where residents have the power to choose their electric provider) are also seeing an increase in their electricity bill. This is due to the record breaking cold temperatures during the winter months. You’re not alone, there are many people who saw their electricity bills sky-rocket because of their need to keep warm.

per year or per month?

I think the electricity bills are fluctuating on the variations of the annual prices, depending on economic and political reasons. You can find the generalized price of each house hold consumption in the following web.

My electricity bill has been so high for the past few months. I used to pay around $100.00 last year but this year it is a whopping $395.00. I am fed up and ready to switch over to something that is going to save me money. Any advice?

You could switch to Solar Power energy that would literally save you thousands. And it doesn’t even cost much to set up.

There are two of us in there…doubt we would have the heating on loads as we’re out working 9-5 most days! How much roughly does it cost per month for each? We’re trying to work out how much everything is going to cost!

where do you live?

where I am (in the UK) we spend about £50/month in summer and £90/month in winter for water, gas and electricity, in a 2 bedroom flat. We’re a couple, which might make a difference. Also your lifestyle will make a difference, and how well insulated your flat is.

The way they present you with the Bill just does not make much sense. They do not bother to send a Meter Reader to check,over estimate the readings ,add on figures of CR and Discounts when they should be deducting it ,and never deal with the actual working of the Energy units used in their Calculations, and post 2 lots of Bills in the same envelope that are estimated just one day apart . Such Confusion when you try to sort it out . No chance of getting any answers over the Phone and more confusion when the send ammended Bills . E-ON is does my energy billing and is badly in need of employing people in their Billing department who know how to Use a computer and present a Bill that every one can understand .I certanily cannot . How many of you really can?

Yeah = it is a pain .. you have to get your head around the idea that your payments are ‘positive’ (added) and your usage is ‘negative’ (deducted) ..

This means a discount has to be ‘added’ (and a penalty ‘deducted’ )

They also take payments each month .. and then bill you each quarter !

The idea is that your payments are ‘averaged out’ over the year ..this means when you are not using so much energy (eg in the summer) you are paying more per month than you are using = so you build up a ‘positive balance’ .. and when you use more energy (during the winter) you are paying less per month than you are using (and the extra payments are taken out of the positive balance you built up during the summer) …

Of course this never actually works right .. you either end up paying them hundreds of ££’s too much … or hundreds of ££’s too little ..

Why do they do it ? … so they can come along during the summer and get you to switch suppliers by pointing out you are paying more than you are actually using.. they then set your new payments really low and you think it’s a really good deal .. but when the winter arrives they double the payments & you get a massive shock ..

RE: estimated bills = sign up for on-line access to your account – if you enter ‘customer readings’ within (I think) 7 days of receiving an estimated bill and they will then send a corrected bill .. (they used to have space on the back of the bill for you to enter your own readings by hand & send it back, however I don’t think they do that anymore)
