Bewildered, befuddled and bruised by he comparison sites

Well, this just gets better and better and better :mad:

Based upon the KwH (calculated from the helpful chaps above:T), when entering the info into energyhelpline and u-switch it reckons he should have an annual bill of roughly 390. Nope, it's 690. So all the comparisons offered based upon KwH are boogered.

Moreover, when entering the cash figures for his bills from the last 12 months on the EDF Fixed Price 2008 scheme, almost nobody offers a better deal than that he would be on after the EDF price rises.

Surely EDF are not so cheap that they cannot be beaten?? Utterly bizarre

There's something rotten in the state of Denmark

In my experience these comparison sites are to be used as a very loose guide only.
Take a look at Ebico, do the calculations and let me know if it works out cheaperThe prices are not tiered, just straight forward.
I don't know if my brain is broken but they seem to be the cheapest to me yet they hardly ever get a mention.

Do yo know if your meter registers cu M or hundreds of cu FT?

Use the converter here to get your kWh figure and don't waste your time entering £££££££ into comparison sites!

Yup, it will that.

And whaddya know, the meter is in cubic feet. I'll have to find a calculation for this now

His bills from the previous year show consumption of: gas consumption 14,483 kw. or 469 units
