We know it can be worrying going off supply. So to help with this we’ve created a little run down to get you back up and running:

DAY 7: solutions - Eon Next Energy Efficiency scheme
Did you know?.. 👀
In the Energy Efficiency Advice Centre, we aim to help customers with home improvements (such as insulation) to improve the over all energy efficiency levels. I provide training, learning and coaching to our team to equip them to be able to deliver the best service possible and guide our customers as much as possible to a more efficient home! This in turn, helps customers to see reductions in their energy bill since they don’t need to use as much energy. We also provide tailored energy efficiency advice to help residents to find other ways to reduce their energy consumption, regardless of whether we’re able to install any improvements in their homes.
How can we help you.. ❓
We're here to keep you and the Community team in the loop with all the home improvements that we can offer and if there are any hitches a long the way or any questions we want to help you get your home as efficient as can be and share any tips and knowledge. I'm really excited to get to know you all and work together to deliver the best service as well as any improvements that we may need to make a long the way! We've already reached out to some of you
@retrotecchie thank you for your time and feedback; we've already started to make some improvements with the error you were receiving so thank you 😊

We are governed by our Licensing Conditions from Ofgem that Direct Debits must be set at estimated usage for the next 12 months based on previous usage in 12 equal payments plus any debt element. This is based on actual usage, if not available we will estimate and review where needed.
Price changes are looked at and if any changes are to be made customers are notified.
In terms of EAC, this is an estimate which is outlined in any quote given. This is why we see alot of DD increases and decreases within a few months of new customers joining where their AAC (Actual Annual Consumption) is missing.
In terms of where a customer needed more support, providing certain steps we're attained then we would support that customer. The same way if you had a lot of credit, we would look into why and act accordingly.
To reiterate, this is looked at on a case by case basis, however the initial step is 10% if you can evidence that the figures used on the system is wrong, then of course we amend things.
According to my research, EAC is only to be used where smart meters are not fitted and no readings have been supplied for a period of greater than 12 months.
Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. I DON'T work for or on behalf of EON.Next, but am willing to try and help if I can. Not on mains gas, mobile network or mains drainage. House heated almost entirely by baby dragons.
Current Eon Next customer, ex EDF, Zog and Symbio. Don't think dual fuel saves money and don't like smart meters. Chronologically Gifted. If I offend let me know by private message, but I’ll continue to express my opinions nonetheless.
Determining monthly DD levels. If smart metering is in place, or regular timely and accurate readings are provided for non smart meters, then EAC is not allowed to be used for setting (or 'suggesting') Direct Debit amounts, so I've been informed. EAC should not need to be shown on a statement either, where not relevant, i.e. In the case of Variable DD like myself or @Mailman

@retrotecchie I would like to think that every energy specialist who sets a Direct Debit is following this.
EAC is something that I personally have never had to use, only during a quotation but again I would stress this is estimated and I would like some data with a view to re-asses within a few months.
If not then we need to make sure this gets advised and feedback is given.
where is this guidance that using EAC is not allowed in the circumstances you describe. I’ve seen guidance that implies the same but isn’t so explicit?
PS Glad you’re connected again. Hope the repairs are swift and the claim goes well for you.
I've just taken my current prices and the EAC as displayed on my statement and calculated through to annual values. And Guess what? - they come to exactly the estimated costs for the year as shown in the upper right side of page 1 of my statement. It seems to me that the use of EAC is firmly embedded in Eon Next's systems.
Now if that EAC were only a little bit away from my AAC it wouldn't matter too much, But when the EAC is 10% higher than my AAC, then I'm afraid it begins to smell a bit fishy.
