Capping

clarejep

Hi I am a low user of gas and electric £18 a month and £15 a month. Is it worth me capping or any other suggestions? With EDF at the moment and looking at changing.

My consumption is similar to yours, I'm currently with Ebico, the lowest capped rate is around 25% more expensive so I'm staying put.
The main reason being that the capped rates are only available for 12 months. Its a gamble, but its cheaper to buy more sweaters and a woolly hat.

My consumption is approx 400.00 a year electric and 10.00 a year gas. ( im a believer in dressing for the winter weather. :cool: )

Energyhelpline.com tells me cheapest capped/price freeze tariffs would be 75.00/95.00 a year more than im paying atm hence my belief that for many the best way is to be on the cheapest variable rate tariff and switch suppliers every 2/3 months with 60.00ish cashback each time.
