    Welcome to the forum.

    The first thing you need to do is determine how many kWh per year you use for both gas and electricity. Ask the companies if you don't know.

    If you enter monthly totals in £££s in the comparison networks you will never get accurate answers.

    It also depends if you want to stay on pre-pay meters, or change(if allowed) to credit meters.
