New customer - best deal?
Hi, I am hopefully moving into a rented flat in the next couple of weeks and was wondering about how to get the best deal for electricity/gas? The comparison sites require you to enter your current usage and show saving based on that. If you have no previous usage how do you find out where to go for the best deal?

I checked with British Gas if this was a genuine call as I hadn't been given any warning they were coming and they emailed and said yes Siemens work for…
