If you are home most of the day and I and my wife (works from home), if you can do washing, charging you phones etc during the day I think you can save a pretty penny, like you say the battery comes into play overnight with car charging, however i expect tax on el£tric to go through the roof as more a take up EV ownership and fuel tax plummmets.
yep that's the fear for me as well. These overnight cheap rates are going to disappear at some point just a question of when, 5 years maybe
i'm fucked. apart from the usual shit i have.
i assume most have a smart meter these days so to turn people off is no big deal and can be done without a visit which is what i expect eon etc will do if the account is not paid, no doubt that first quarter- sept,oct,nov is going to see many in trouble so i expect the end of November mass non payment or partial payment with a repayment plan but this will have an effect in the supply chain, the likes of eon etc may collapse, i raise an eybrow towards the Governments lack of planning which makes me wonder are they draging there heels so they can pick up of whats left and Re-nationalise when the time comes.
i think most are on Direct Debit so the only controll they have is to cancel the DD,its going to be a shock for them one day when there bank account has been left empty, so what then they cant pay there mortgage or buy food because the gas company got in first, thats the first thing i did was to cancel the DD and would advise that,stay in controll is the first objective, but yes your correct partial payment is better than non payment. i suppose me and a few others on here are the lucky ones, i can rack a debt up with eon and worry about it later but at least il stay warm, now the ones who are not so lucky are the ones with gas cards who will have a choice of stick a tenner on for the night or eat and thats a choice there going to have to make every day for the next 6 months
Unless you have big inductive loads attached to your supply e.g motors, big transformers, incandescent lighting or lots of fluorescent lighting it will do next to nothing.
Voltage Optimisers: How Do They Work & Are They Worth It?
A Voltage Optimiser such as the Eco-Max, is a hassle-free energy saving solution, capable of saving you up to 19% on your energy bills!www.deegesolar.co.uk
Have any of you guys got one of these.
Supposed to save the voltage supplied and return back to the grid.
Electricity supplied normally around 240 volts but most electrical items are set at 220 volts so in theory you are drawing an extra 20 volts and wasting it.
Jeez some feckers are making a fortune of this.
Sadly, it has.
We will be like a 3rd world country soon then.
not good when you let it sink in,, which is why the government simply have to do something 'they have no choice' i think they will before the shit hits the fan and if not then its candles im afraid, just thinking of booking Tenerife for all January at £50 each way, might as well be over there than here 2 weeks paid leave and 2 weeks unpaid leave
I’m with Octopus. They let the customer decide how much the DD should be.
