first time moving out

tux130582

Hello

Im in the process of buying a house and have never got gas and electric before

I was wondering the cheapest way to do this? is it to stay with the same provider for both? Ive tried using Uswitch / money supermarket but it requires info on the current provider and tarrif which i dont have. Do I need to obtain this first?

cheers

There will already be a supplier to the property so make sure you take meter reads when you first move in and let the current supplier know the meter reads and your name as you will have to go with them first. Then you can switch.

Just put down British Gas Standard Tariff(one of the most expensive) and enter 20,500kWh for anual gas consumption and 3,300kWh for electricity.(that is the UK average)

You can try variations on the consumption - depending on the type of property - but you will get comparisons.

Initially you will have to use whatever supply is in the property and there really is no great hurry to change.

It is important to note meter readings as soon as you take over the house and let the current supplier know what they are.
