Confused about switching

I am currently supplied electricity by N Power. I live in a small two bed flat and I am on their economy 7 tariff.

I have recently received poor customer service and I am thinking of switching.

However, the various comparison websites seem to give me different answers for the same products and I am getting lost as to whether or not it is a good idea to switch.

Any thoughts about who I can rely upon?

    You can rely on yourself, and it is bl8888 hard work to get raw tariff info, because everyone tries to tell you how much you can save, with scope for manipulating the answers [see other threads hare]

    IIRC, years ago there used to be a comparison site with actual tariff info, but it got shut down by the regulator for confusing consumers.

    You can 'open link in a new window' on a results page to open individual tariff details in separate windows. Tariff unit prices have to be considered along with estimated total costs. Naked unit prices are of little use on their own if you're not both an arithmetic savant and a meteorological psychic.

    OP, make sure you choose the correct and consistent inputs. eg, are you clicking the E7 boxes and the same tariff names?
