Hi all, Have read the guide to switching and went through Energyhelpline.com who identified E-ON as being able to offer me the greatest savings (£172) each year compared to my current provider N-POWER. Energyhelpline offer £15 for the switch but Quidco seems to be showing a £62 cashback deal on a dual switch. Is it really as straightforward as this or do I need to start looking at unit prices and complex calculations?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated - many thanks.

    They are accurate as long as the information you provide is accurate. If you are rough guessing or estimating then your savings may not be as clear cut as the sites make out. If you have been with your supplier for over a year you can request you yearly consumption based on the latest 12 months, else you may be on the ball and have to hand your own recordings to use. You will get more accuracy by entering your khw instead of £.

    If you are going to use quidco make sure you clear your cache and cookies first and don't use the back button or have any extra tabs/windows open when making the application or it might not track.

    I went on my khw figures for the last 6 months so am fairly sure that they are accurate. Just seemed incredibly straightforward - not sure what I was expecting!!!

    You should really do it over a year to cover both summer and winter usage.
