decided to change to ebico for both gas and electric HELP!!

stokefan

i am on a prepay meter with british gas at the moment, firstly i shouldnt get a bill from british gas now i am changing should i??

whats my next step? i have rang ebico and asked them what to do, they say they will sort it out. and to apply on the website.

i have searched back and believe i cant get any cashback from this supplier?

do i need to check whether im in a contract with british gas?? as i got the details changed (my ex was named on the gas not me, so when we split up i changed it to my name, under a year ago)

and anything else i may need to know before switching??

anyone help?

As you are on a pre-payment meter with BG, you shouldn't receive a bill from them.
This assumes you don't have any known arrears with BG (e.g. which you are paying off on the meter) - but if you do, I doubt BG will let to switch away until they are settled.


Also as you are on a Prepayment meter, I don't think you are tied in to BG. (i.e. no early cancellation charges - these tend to be for fixed/capped rates that you get on a credit meter)

Once you apply to switch online, ebico will take care of the switch for you and keep you informed.
First you'll get a letter confirming your application and your right to cancel.
Then you'll get a switch date. You may be asked to supply meter readings on the switch date.

Note that the correspondence will probably come from Scottish & Southern Energy who are the licenced supply partners for Ebico. Don't worry about that, just ensure that you are on the Equigas & Equipower tariffs

it might be worth doing a comparison check looking at BG & other suppliers for the electricity, Ebico ARE Cheaper for gas but not often for the electricity.

It just depends on how much you are using,

i use about 44kwh a week, so its about the same as british gas

but the gas hopefully should cost less then half

I very much doubt it. As you have a prepayment meter, they are not extending any credit to you

If you want to be certain, give them a call and ask:

0800 458 7689 or 01993 608404

No, no cashback as they do not pay any commission or kickbacks to referers
