That was on a thread I started about home heating bills David, (well remembered!) but I can't remember who's bills were so high...

My wife has taught me to multi-task, apparantly it's a female thing. Also got a Skype conversation going.

Our provincial energy company is almost finished installing new electricity meters, which will click in sometime later in 2008. The new meters are pre-programmed to bill you for off-hour rates as well as peak-hour rates. (all peak at the moment, drat!). The idea is to shock/startle/frighten people into thinking about when they use power and how much they use. Needless to say, 5 star energy saving major appliance sales are booming right now - but not timers or alarm clocks.

I  was amazed at that as well and posted:

in last 12 months we used 8,700 off peak units @ £0.0257/unit  = £223.59 total (incl VAT), and in addition to heating/hot water, that includes loads of nightime washing machine/dishwasher/early morning cooking/etc. use.

Are you really paying 23p for one unit of daytime electricity?  If so, that is scandalous since ours is about 8.5p

[apologies for posting this during daytime rates]

David are you going to tell us which energy company you're with?  We're thinking of switching and want a cheap night right (but also a cheap day rate hopefuelly.

I believe David is with Telecomplus now known as Utility warehouse LINK, I was with them for years but have now changed as they are no longer the cheapest, try http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/utilities/ for some really good advice, don't forget prices are set to rocket up shortly  :evil:

Thanks Richy, it says not to switch now and to wait and see how things are after the price rises have settled.
