Thank you Anna for the information.  I was going to say change your supplier but it wouldn’t surprise me if they are all the same.  

Absolutely pointless. Anna is probably paying the SVT, all fixes are currently higher than this, and many suppliers arent accepting new customers anyway.

 

She needs to do her own audit of her electric usage if she feels her usage is high.  A quick win would be to check how long the hot water goes on for, we recently halved the time ours is on for and has cut the amount we use considerably. We even turn it off totally when away from home for more than a day.

I’m not surprised about some  suppliers not  excepting new customers.  Gone are the days when  they use to knock on your door to offer you a better deal.   At the moment we are living in very worrying times with gas and electricity

Expect the unit price of leccy to get upto 50p/unit over the winter.  Gas will also be frightfully dear.

 

If you have solar panels then maybe invest in a home battery?  Solar can charge the battery during the day, then in the evenings you draw power from there instead of the grid.

You can also get a solar immersion heater for a hot water tank, excess solar energy goes into making hot water.

Why not ask your gas supplier or gas engineer to visit you, assess the situation and give you an estimate.

Hope you check out the ecco solutions.

 

The Global Warmers are telling us there's lots of alternatives to Fossil Fuels, these days! 

 

Maybe a windmill in the the back yard, and a couple of solar panels on the roof?

 

Remember, we ALL have to do what we can!
