Wise after the event - price increase
I am currently with click energy with British Gas, but in the process of switching, as it has been a disaster from the start.

Any pros and cons to help me make my decision? Thanks so much for your…

When to switch?
I am currently with EDF Energy for electricity - it was SWEB, but they were taken over. They are very expensive and I could make savings by switching, but wonder if it is worth waiting until the prices start plummeting (if they do) before bothering.
