Have checked both suppliers today and for me they both have the same kWh rate for gas and electric with powergen coming out £25 cheaper for the standing charge minus discounts.

sedbuk
Where on earth do they get their figures from? According to their site, a 3 bed semi costs £397 to heat with an old cast iron boiler, and £259 with a condensing boiler. My semi has no cavity wall insulation, no double glazing, a 20 year old cast iron boiler, and as I'm at home all day, the heating only goes off at night.…
