Why don't they simply mention unit cost?
All energy comparison sites I have seen, just ask questions like how much do you spend a month etc. and then at the end says how much money you could save. Why don't they simply mention what unit price each company charges - so that I can just see at a glance who is the cheapest? :confused:

I got into debt with…

Token Meter Misery

How energy companies should do estimated readings!
If the energy companies want to give estimated bills, why can't they just go back to the figures from the last year's same quarter and apply that figure in units onto the bill? For example in the autumn quarter, 1000 electricity units were used and 120 gas units were used. You contact the energy supplier to give the…
