The cheapest fixed tariff available from another supplier would save her £100 compared to what she’s currently paying.

Tulo Energy
Hello, This company would be the best price in our case for dual fuel (despite being a variable tariff). However, I did not find them customer friendly.

No exit penalty currently which is good. Upon doing a…

Octopus - which tariff is better?
Hi i was in a flexible tariff with octopus, and in February I moved to the loyal octopus 12m fixed. Unless I have made a crazy mistake, those prices are better than the new ones in the flexible tariff after 1st April so I think this was a wise movement however, I am considering the agile or the tracker ones, but I have no…
