British Gas Elec and Gas should I switch??
Hi I live in Kent and currently have my supplier with British Gas for both Elec and Gas. I would say I'm a medium user of Gas and Elec and wondered what people thought of changing suppliers at the moment. The Uswitch website reckons I could save £150 pounds a year. Is it worth the agro of swithing as it seems so complex,…

Electricity / Gas supplier "tarting"
Does anyone know if there's any reason not to keep switching power suppliers for the incentives - Quidco give £44 for switching to Scottish Power, 2000 Clubcard Points for switching to Powergen etc. etc. Ok, you may not get the best price for your power but I don't use a lot so I'd come out ahead. Doesn't seem to be…

I eventually got a card from Southern Electricity saying they would be handling the switch. Later I got another card from Southern Electricity giving me an…

Moving House - take existing supplier with me or switch afterwards
Afternoon all. I'm going to be moving house in the next month or so all going well and was wondering what's best for electricity and gas supply. I switched to Powergen Energy online a year or so ago and have been happy with them. The house we are buying is not with Powergen at the moment. When you have moved house before…

Comparison service - changeover date
It's time for me to change supplier, but I won't get the full discount from my previous supplier if I change before 21/2/06. Does anyone know whether, on any of the comparison sites, you can specify a date you do not want to changeover before so that I can maximise savings. Last year I requested a change of supplier on 3…

I checked on USwitch regarding better deals by getting a standard meter but the results were inconclusive as it seems I have to stay with BG initially. Doea anyone have any…
