Switching to time in with expiry of previous deal?

How do you work around this?
My current deal with Eon ends on 1st March.
I've done the comparison thing, and it looks as if a change to EDF would be in order, based on my average consumption.
However, can I do that now, and ask for EDF to take over on 1st March? Or do I have to wait till 1st of March to put the change in place and risk paying a few weeks of the more expensive tariff Eon will no doubt put me on?
Many thanks in advance.

How bigs the difference between the 2? If i was you i'd hang fire until EDF have announced their price increase0

Ah, good point yellowcard. Am I right in thinking that EDF are the only big company not to have announced an increase? I will look up when they are likely to announce their new prices and re-assess.0

Hi freda
It sounds as though the product you're currently on is probably Fixonline 5.
As this is an online product, you will automatically be put on to EnergyOnline when your existing deal ends unless you tell us otherwise.
EnergyOnline is based on our standard prices but with a 10 per cent discount before VAT. There are no cancellation fees on this product leaving you free to switch supplier whenever you wish.
A letter will be sent before Fixonline 5 ends outlining the new prices and asking you to contact us to discuss alternatives.
It usually takes between 4 to 6 weeks to change supplier. Therefore, if you start a switch in the next few days, it should complete after the end of Fixonline 5.
In this situation, you will have completed the Fixonline 5 contract and so not pick up the cancellation fee applicable to this tariff.
Just a quick heads up freda; we don't give discount on final bills when changing supplier. However, if you've completed the term of the contract, you'll be entitled to the full amount of discount relevant to Fixonline 5 even if part of this falls within the final bill.
The only discount you'll miss out on will be for the period between the end of Fixonline 5 and the date your supply changes hands.
Hope this is helpful freda. Give me a shout if you need any more info as will be happy to help.
