Business rates cheaper than residential rates?

Hi,

I work from home and have recently changed over (from Powergen) to npower for my utilities (gas and elec.) As I work from home, they suggested I take the business rates as 'this is will be cheaper - since I must use more as a business.'

The actual tarif on cost per unit seems cheaper but I am not sure if this is the case if standing charges are to be added?

Does anyone know if the rep was correct in stating that I will infact save money by being on a business tariff - or whether I have fallen foul of her pitch.

I am a month or two into the contract and paying a fixed monthly (I guess the proof will come at the end of the year when they say you either owe us or we owe you??)

Thanks in advance.
