Hi. Last year we joined the CEC Collective Fix with British Gas, and during the year they offered us free 'Smart' Meters for gas and electricity. This meant that we no longer needed to submit meter readings of course, so that was good. At the end of the collective fix CEC's cheapest deal in our area was Iresa, and so we…
