    It can sometimes be cheaper to go to seperate suppliers instead of duel fuel.

    I would be careful with Npower, any savings quoted to you include £105 in discounts that are paid in the 13th month of being with them. So if Npower are quoted to save you £200 then you will only save £95 through the year then get the £105 back in the 13th month. If Scottish power are saying they would save you £150 then you would notice lower direct debits with them as their discounts come off throughout the year but you wont get any money at the end of the year.

    Plus Npower are rubbish
