    The reason is almost certainly because you have built up a large debit balance(possibly because of estimated meter readings) and they are getting you to repay that debt.

    Also with NPower you pay more for your gas in the winter(and less in summer) because they 'seasonally weight' the Tier1(primary units)

    There is not a lot to chose between the various companies in price and for gas NPower are pretty competitive.

    Make sue that you don't jump out of frying pan etc.

    hmm yeh i panicked this morning

    last week i got sent another letter saying that it raised to £112 that was based on esimated reading.......

    however they asked for a meter reading so ir ang up and gave them the new one which hiked my bill to £159!

    mind u the period is from 16th Jul - December 20th
  • You need to make sure you update your supplier with an up to date meter reading regularly then, that'll make sure this doesn't happen again.
