https://www.energyhelpline.com - just put your dual fuel figures as normal then when the large comparison screen appears near the top there are tabs for Gas Only, Electric Only and Gas and Electric. Works like a dream. HTH.

Certainly doesn't look like it but, of course, it's always best to double check before signing on the dotted line! :beer:

I get totally different results coming up, is there a knack to this?

Which figures did you use? 6k gas 2.5k elec?

neas

Tried 6000 gas and 2500 electricity. (believe electricty usage is more realistic at 7 units a day (we averaged 4 at other flat!)

Dual comes out cheapest at 465 npower online 14

Gas = 212 with Ebico

Elec = 312 with scottish power online tariff

So Dual = 465 whereas Single = 522 (77 pound dearer etc).

How much is the 'fixed bonus' i wonder though.

Im confused

scotty1971

has npower reduced there prices yet?

The nPower fixed bonus is £105 or £108 per year (for a dual fuel internet direct debit tariff).

So it will cost you £570 and if you stay twelve months you will get £105 back to reduce the cost to £465.

So commit for twelve months and you save £57 (where'd you get the £77 from?) but to save that fiver per month you have to gamble and pay more than eight pounds extra per month in the first place.
