New Energy Supplier

afficionado_2

Has anyone any information on first:utility services? There was a R4 programme which mentioned it and I looked at the site online. Basically, it seems that they provide smart metering - which means that you only pay for what you use, month by month, neither more nor less. Also what they call intelligent energy whereby they charge according to the time of day (wasn't that done years ago?) and so you can regulate when you use, e.g. the washing machine and save money.
What is really interesting, of course, is whether the end result is that you pay less money over all !!
Has anyone any experience of this? I gather it has only been available since September, so maybe it would be best to wait until more people have information.
thanks

Welcome to the Forum.

This company has been mentioned several times on this forum.

The end result is of course that even though they have jumped the gun and reduced their prices, they are still not competitive on price.

If you do a search for 'First Utility' on this forum(see search button above) you will find the threads but this one really sums it up.
