More useful would have been the rates paid. Although your are spending just £850 a year heating your house (which is a about half the uk average), you may be able to save a few £££. This money could be used to become a subscriber and contribute some money to the forum. . OMG you could become a Premium Member and get the Halfords discount card...
Yet more money moving overseas, where will it all end. Will all our utilities be owned by foreign investors.
the Halfords card is over rated... Well it is if you go to Halfords, buy a pile of stuff and forget that you have a card... Not that I did that
I had a friend who bought a shed-load of stuff from Halfords and THEN applied for the card. What an idiot I he is.
We were with BG, then NPower, then Scottish Power, finally having been shunted to the "standard" tariffs when our intro deal expired, my wife shopped around, and now we have been with OVO, for the past couple of years. Get both gas and elec from them, at a very competitive price, as well as a dual fuel discount, and they even pay interest on any credit balances, even when our intro deal expired, we shopped around, and still couldn't better the deal we had, so stayed with them!
A quick note some of the comparison sites are very misleading. U-switch based the price on a whole year. As i'm in a deal that expires in 3 months they masked the actual prices I'm currently paying and put up an annualised figure. So that was 3 months on Collective Fix October 2017 and 9 months of British Gas standard rate; which you'd be a mug to stay on. Compare the Meerkat, U-switch, money saving expert, gocompare and money supermarket ALL give different results as to which one would be cheapest for me?? That just isn't possible. Don't forget it may be cheaper to buy Electric from one supplier and Gas from another. If you don't use a lot (more than 40%) of your electric at night (typically night storage heaters), state you don't have an economy 7 meter then you'll get a cheaper day time rate. And yes this is legal. Pen and paper, calculator and some meter readings required I'm afraid.
No, not at all. I've lived in the same house for +20 years, so I know my consumption. The prices are very exact, so I've no idea how they can have different cheapest suppliers without messing about and slanting the data I'm giving them.
@Wayne58 Im another bulb convert. Got hammered by EDF, switched to Eon and then they upped their prices and we got hammered by them. Switched to Bulb and am paying less and in credit now. Was paying a lot more and ending up in debit. Only downside I see is that you'll have to wait until next year for a smart meter but I don't mind submitting my meter reads every month until then. More than happy to refer you and we both earn a bit of dosh (such a hardship... I'm so generous).
Martin Lewis was on telly a few weeks ago talking about comparison websites. Change in law now means they do not have to list on the sites the cheapest tariffs!! His comparison website still does and according to him it's the only one. I have a street light right outside my property . It's very bright and don't have curtains.
