Comparison Sites, are they Genuine ?
Comparison sites. We are advised on here to use the comparison sites and do a tart and jump to the supplier offering what they (the comparison site) shows as being the most competative supplier.

British Gas failed to turn up - can I claim for lost time?
Not sure if this is the right board for this thread, but my boiler packed up on Saturday.

It appears I gave a bit too much information in my last post and it got a bit off topic so i'm re-posting with the basics of my question: When moving to a new home is best to: A - Switch energy supplier straight away B - Wait till you've been there a couple of months so you have an idea of your usage and then switch?
