British Gas dual fuel to 2 separate accounts
I’ve just had a mad online chat with a British Gas advisor
about changing tariff. It would be easy, I thought, to change to the EV tariff
through the dual fuel deal we have. Not so, apparently as my GAS would go up,

Economy 7 or Single Rate?
I'm really just hoping for some confirmation that my workings are correct. We're currently on Economy 7. Our day / night usage is roughly 50/50, 4700kWh day & 4700kWh night per year. The best Economy 7 rates I can find are Sainsburys Energy, 29.05p Day & 11.78p Night. As my usage is 50/50 I added them together and divided…
