User Comments

I was with powergen on an economy 7 pre-pay metre, I was paying about £35 per month for all my usage. EDF told me my rate was to high, I switched to EDF and now it's costing me up to £7 just to have a storage heater come on for 2 hours during the night or early hours and about £5 just to heat my water for 2 hours during the night or early hours.

My post code is KT2 5JS. Why do I have so many power cuts 2 since Christmas and one before for 16 hours when all the rest of my street has electricity? I need oxygen so need constant supply.

Re: Mrs Holt. Edf is seeboard, same prices. Bill dates corrected so they fall in line with actual meter readings though, perhaps a lot of your old bills were estimated too low?

Does anyone know how to register to pay EDF yourself quarterly ?

I have been with EDF for a year.
They have just reduced my monthly payments for gas from £50 to £34.
A year ago British Gas were asking me for £82!
I also pay less for electricity than I did with Powergen.

On their web page, edf say thay can save me over £58 per annum on dual fuel bills. However, in fact, they are now charging me almost double what I paid when we were with Seeboard.
