Gas only used for heating. Switch tarrif twice a year? other ideas?
Apologies if I come across as a bit of a newbie here, but having recently (August) escaped from an LPG-heated house and gaining a choice of tarrifs, it's taking me a while to get up to speed. What I've done so far is switched from Swalec to British Gas, who then refused to swap the pre-pay meters for credit meters…

My current deal with SP ends at the end of '15 so I am worried about sitting the deal out if prices rise over the Winter.

Utility Warehouse
