Eon OnlineSaver V12
Just noticed this tariff, not sure when it was announced. I am currently on V8 and on the surface of it, V12 looks a bit cheaper. But the sneaky monkeys have reduced the discounts from 13.3% down to 10% - so overall it's a bit more expensive. And they thought we wouldn't notice! Very sneaky

Gas Versus Electric
People say there is competition in the utilities, but the one competition you never see is Gas versus Electric. If you have Gas central heating and wish to be safe you will be paying £200.00 + per annum for safety/maintenance checks. Not so with Electric.

Is It Cheaper To Keep Switching The Boiler On And Off?
Is it cheaper to keep switching the gas on/off or leave on constant and let the theromstat click in and out when it gets too hot or too cold?? I've heard that it costs more to fire up the heating from cold and it's better to have it running all day??
