    Be careful not to switch too many times. Not because the energy company will 'have a go' but because of how the majority of the companies now set their 2-tier pricing! If you leave before you've been charged for a quarter, a bigger majority of the bill will be charged at the higher tier than if you left after you'd been with them for a quarter. Look to switch a maximum of 4 times a year...and ALWAYS go through a cashback site!

    HAVE YOU SEEN QUENTIN'S CASHBACK CARD??
  • Good point! Although the Cashback tends to take about 2-3 months so you tend to change about that freq anyway
