Ok, so British Gas have got Hive and Scottish Power (who currently supply our gas and electric) have got Scottish Power Connect.
Has anyone got one of these systems? How good/bad are they?
I don't know about BG but on a cursory look it would seem that the only way to pay for the system with SP is over two years. I'm currently with SP on a fixed dual-fuel deal until the middle of next year but may well move when it comes to an end. If I had the Connect system installed would it tie me to SP or could I swap energy provider and still expect the Connect system to work if I did?
Same question of BG - would Hive only work for as long as you're a customer of BG or would it work irrespective of energy supplier?
