Submitting accurate meter readings for today will mean that you are paying for your energy before the prices rise tomorrow.

Hope this makes sense.

As British Gas won't let me have an online account, unless I set up another email address, I've taken a photo of my meters - then it's dated! :-D

British Gas website has been down most of the day but they say you will still be able to submit meter readings from today on a form that they will have online in the next couple of days.

Florence, I too have a smart meter, but it doesn't work! :-|

Well, just tried to send them my readings - 'Unfortunately, we're having technical problems at the moment. Either stay on this page and try again in a few moments, or try again later.'
It may be time to send them another invoice - cost of reading meters, £25 each. Admin costs for hanging around, £25 per hour or part thereof! :-| :-|

EonNext website was overloaded yesterday and I was unable to log on so I emailed my readings.
I had a response to say they had been logged.
I have a smart meter for electricity but that normally produced a bill for the 20th of the month so I gave a manual reading for that as well as the gas.

Did the price go up at midnight BST?

I think it did, Ken.

Maggie as long as you have the readings, wait until a few days has passed ie next Tuesday when there will be less people maybe trying to send their readings and try emailing them again .

When I was with SSE, there was an automated payment line open 24/7, you could leave your readings and a new bill was sent out about a week later. It was really good as you didn't have to wait in a queue to speak to anyone.

Edit: my smart meter display tarriff hasnt changed yet!

Hmm, I'm almost sure gas WON'T be gone this year - heat pumps can't be fitted everywhere! Flats, for example.
Then there's the fact that 'the proposed installation site must not be located in the grounds of a listed building or in a conservation area. the pump unit must not be placed on a pitched roof.'
Also, it's not mandatory - well, not yet.

There's enough miserable false information coming out of the mouths of the 'powers that be' without adding to it!

Erm that told him lol.

Maggie some folk are never happy unless they are depressing other folk :-|

Reading back, I think, perhaps RTR was referring to his imaginary ancestral family home, and that he personally will have to fit a heat pump in it - which of course, he won't. That's because it's not mandatory, and his 'ancestral home' is imaginary..

But then, without implying it was compulsory, he couldn't have mentioned his imaginary ancestral home, could he?

He really should tick the 'don't publish my address' box on his electoral form! :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-Talking through the Ancestral seat

LaGooner I nearly peed my pants at that.

No need for pumps there is enough hot air spouted out to heat the whole country :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D

RTR you are clearly not as clever as you want us to think you are, if you were you would realise what was meant by Ancestral seat. lol.
