Scottish power energy saver 4 - should I cap?

cjolyvet

I currently have the Scottish power energy saver 4 - should I cap with Scottish power?

Has anyone changed or stayed with the same tariff?

Thanks

hi cjolyvet

I swapped from online saver four to capped 2009 with scottish power last week, i know that it means paying more but I've got two babies and work part time so the way I look at it is security of knowing what I'm paying each month. Suppose it depends if a, you believe the rises will be massive and b, if you could afford them if they did?

Hi Mummybow,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Roughly how much more do you think you will have to pay for capped 2009?

im on it,,the gas prices are not much more compared to the online 4 but the electric is..i took the gamble and didnt switch,,i worked out on my last 1/4 electric bill i spent £70 the eqivilent bill on capped would of been around £90+ so thought it was so much more i took gamble it either wont go as high or not much more fingers crossed

I havent switched either - on another thread someone mentioned the fixed price was 30 % more exp so figured I would stick with Online energy saver 4. Incidentally I got letter from SP today reducing my DD by £21 pm, I thought it would be reduced as I have been keeping close eye on the readings, and have spend all but 2 months of the year in a credit - so pleased about that.
