Npower isn't letting me switch suppliers? Help pls
Hi: This is my first time renting outside of student halls and my first post here. Basically, I decided that Scottish Power for electricity would be cheaper than Npower which is my current supplier.

Is it worth changing from Sthn.Electric to E-on NOW?
I'm thinking of changing from Southern Electric to Eon. I did a price comparison with https://www.energyhelpline.com and only make a saving of approx. £43 per year, but i'm drawn to the fact that you receive Tesco Clubcards points for every pound spent. Is it worth me switching now, or should i wait for this "elusive" drop…

26p to run my tumble drier, isn't that low?
I always thought tumble driers were really expensive. I plugged mine into my electric monitor I have and ran it for an hour as I do normally (I had bed linen to dry). After it had stopped it showed a total cost of 26p. I really thought it would be much higher than that. I'm wondering if my meter is faulty now......
