What date should I switch?
I'm currently on a fixed tariff contract that expires on the 31/3/2012. I've been in touch with moneysupermarket and they said to to switch to the new supplier no more than 12 days before the end of the contract just to be sure I don't have to pay an exit fee.

Comparison websites still showing same prices as jan/feb
I thought the gas and electric prices went down this month and the comparison sites say they reflect this but when I enter the quote details it comes up that I'm spending more over the year but at the same unit prices and estimated usage! So the saving appears greater than it is as the quoted cheapest are still the same…

How much electricity do you use in a day
i live in a fairly big detached house which could be classed as a 6 bedroom house. We have gas central heating and hot water.Both of us out at work during the day and kids at school. Cooking by electric oven and induction hob. We are averaging 16kwh a day which still seems high. How does this compare ?
