Electricity : day & night tariff

KK21_2

I have had my gas & electricity with British gas for quite some time, but have now decided to switch.

I tried the various comparison sites, as given on this web site

the gas is pretty straightforward, as NPower comes on on the top of all the comparison sites.

However there is a range of top suppliers for the electricity suppliers, including EDF, Scottish Power and Union Energy.

Currently I have two meters and therefore pay a low rate & a high rate (each with varying prices 4.31 & 4.71 p (night) and from 12.23 - 35.36 p for daytime

Do all suppliers offer these different rates ?

We do washing during the night, both clothes and dishes, so would not like to loose this option

Many thanks

Do you use at least 20% of your electricity units at night?

KK21_2

yes, although only just

Last readings work out at 21% night, 79% day

I think, with some tariffs, that's not enough to make it worthwhile. You're not saving money so you might as well have the convenience of being able to do the washing when you want to!

I've seen percentages of 18-25% mentioned, so might be worth doing a search or just doing the maths for each tariff.
