When to Switch?
Hi, I've been on Npower go fix 8(?) for the last year, and they've written to me to tell me my fix will end in Feb 2013 and I will be moved to a new tariff which appears to be about 50% more than I pay today! A quick look around tells me I could save up to 300 a year by switching, so when should I start the process to…
