comparing costs on energy switching sites
I have entered my details on a few switching websites now, and each one comes up with NPower GoFix11 being the cheapest based on my annual consumption.

Any recommendations for a reliable / accurate one of the above please? Ideally looking for one that can be programmed separately for each day. Does the wiring of the "sender" to the boiler have to be done by a "real" electrician? Thanks

new boiler..no thank you
heres something to think about.. My gas bill came to £367 this year and my boiler is at least 35 years old. The energy trust says I could save 33 per cent of my gas bill per year if I got a new one.
