A question about : Cost of combi boiled and gas piped to house

I have just had a quote from British Gas to have a new combi boiler and gas piping to the house (I currently have oil fueled heating). The quote was for around Ј3,500 (Ј460 for the piping to the house & the rest for the new boiler, removal of old system tanks, radiator flush etc).

This seems a bit steep to me has anyone else had this done recently?

I live in the Midlands area.

A question about : Who Knows Free Telephone Number of Scottish Power

Who knows any landline telephone number or 0800 / 0500 number for the Customer Service Dept of Scottish Power? They always asked customers to ring their 0845 number which will charge 4-5p per minute! BTW, my ntl package allows free landline calls so ideally I am looking for a landline no. for SP.

Their sales team with a 0800 number used to help customers to transfer phone calls to the relevant departments but now refused to do so.

Can anybody who knows such telephone number come to help?

A question about : How much is the cost per unit of gas & electric?

I moved into my house last month & signed up with British Gas for gas & EDF for energy (which is who the previous occupant was with, I will change next month when prices are stable).

I have got meter readings after about a month. I have checked the British Gas & EDF website but cannot find what the unit cost is?!

Can anyone help? What's a ballpark figure for 1 unit of gas & 1 unit for electricity so I know roughly how much I can expect my bill to be?

A question about : Fischer Storage Heaters

Official MSE insert:

Fischer Future Heat has an adjudication against it for a previous promotional campaign. See the ASA Adjudication

Back to the original post...

Does anyone have any experience of Fischer Storage Heaters? (website is fischer-futureheat.co.uk/fischer-storage-heaters.php They claim these heaters are 40-50% cheaper to run than old night storage systems.

A question about : Whats the UK average kWh usage per year

Does anyone know there kWh usage per year and what a typical average is, this is just for a house with electricity and no gas.

A question about : What is the average cost per KWH of electricity???

Im currently with BT as they were standard when i moved into my flat,but when i looked they charging me 23p per 1st 105KWHs, then 10.8p per next KWH.

(This is for a studio flat in Surrey)

Ive gone on Uswitch and they say the cheapest would be Npower, charging me Ј57 annual charge, and 9p per KWH.

While they say that i could pay Ј23 per month, im very worried that cos of the rate i may exceed that amount each month.

What does everyone else pay per KWH of electricty though??

A question about : What time is off peak for electric?
