I only use gas for central heating . All other usage (including water heating) is electric. How do I choose a new energy supplier please. Is it better that I choose one which has a cheaper electricity cost? How do I do this without trawling through every company in order to get the best price

Length of Fix vs Cost Savings
I am coming to the end of a 3-year fix for dual fuel, which has been very good, but I am unsure how long to fix for in my next contract.

“Baseline” electricity usage
