Switch supplier. Biggest saving or Long term fixed price.
I currently pay £75 by direct debit to EDF for electricity and £60 direct debit to British Gas for gas. It’s about time I stopped being loyal and started to look around.

Should I have switched?
I have accepted a transfer from Scottish Power Online Enegy Saver 10 to Npower Sign Online 23. Should I have done this? I only switched as it said that they would save me £200 a year. Now I have seen that I might have done the wrong thing. Scottish power have sent me a letter saying that I should call to see if they can do…

Question for eon rep

Do you leave lights on overnight?
I always leave 3 lights on at night - the loo in case someone needs to go, the downstairs hall and the front door to put burglars off! With the electricity bills going up i'm wondering if I should turn all but the outdoor light off? The loo has 1 energy saving bulb and the hall has 3 - do you think they would cost me much…

Before I switch....some advice please
This morning I have been trolling through the minefield of gas suppliers as I am currently with Southern Electric. According to Uswitch and Moneysupermarket I would be better off with a dual fuel deal with Npower on the sign online 23 tarrif (I already have electric on the same deal with them). My question is according to…

Another EDF thread - call to reject DD or just switch?
I admit, for the sake of a few ££ I'd not bother switching to someone else but EDF have just sent noticed of our DD being increased to £181 a month. We started with them 29th December so have had 3/4 months of the central heating being on full (24/7 more or less) and 3 months of usual gas/electric. The CH will no doubt go…

Direct Debit Woe
I've recently switched banks and used my new bank's switching service to transfer my direct debits and standing orders. One of my direct debits is to EDF for my electricity supply. I've received today an unexpected bill from EDF for £186.45, claiming that I've failed to make my regular payment this month. I've checked both…

Which EON tariff?
We are currently on the Save Online 4 tariff which comes to an end at the beginning of November. We are going to stay with EON at present but my brain is spinning as to which of their tariffs it would be prudent to move to.

Service charges?
Hi All, just had confirmation from Scottish Power re the price increase. However, it seems as though gas/electricity prices are barely rising but service charges are nearly doubling. I thought it was actual energy prices that were rising, or am I confusing the service charge with the actual cost of the energy used?…
