Norweb Energi

I was about to sign up to norweb only to find that it is part of TXU and powergen and yet had been quoted figures under those of each company by each other. be warned when planning to sign with any company that you could actually be signing with someone you are already with, and if you are unhappy with them you are not likely to be happy with them under another name.

Following deregulation of this,that and the other,we are supposed to have so much choice when it comes to picking the right utility company to use.At times this can be bewildering when companies assail you by post,phone and even e-mail! After being bombarded by phone-calls from all the electricity suppliers under the sun (or so it seemed),eventually I succumbed to one silky voiced damsel and agreed to speak to a representative from Norweb, whom she assured me would be able ,at a stroke ,to cut our energy bill by an astounding amount! On the duly appointed day,at the prescribed hour,he turned up. I am fairly sceptical of all offers - if ...  Read the complete review

My opinion of British Gas (BG hereafter) is perhaps best kept to specific BG opinion but let me just say that they are not a company that I would willingly do business with. After purchasing my first house I took all gas/electricity meter readings ready to receive bills and start paying!

Having a card meeter installed was another suggestion but, never having had one of these before this did not suit me either.

How many times will I have to phone Norweb energi to get a meter fitted? To date it has taken five phone calls, two missed appointments and one failed appointment. All I want is to change meter to a card meter as we have built up a large bill, largely to keeping rooms at oven temperature to keep newborn baby toasted. We have learnt our lesson but still need to pay off bill and keep gas on. It has taken three attempts to get then to acknowledge the meter being changed. I have phoned then each time I have received a bill asking for payment, as I have ignored recent communications, and each time I telephone they have no record of previous conversations, yet they ...  Read the complete review
