I recently switched providers after using the Uswitch comparison site. USwitch estimated a few hundred pounds savings by moving to NPower from Southern Electric which although I was impressed thought was rather a lot howver if it brought my astonomical gas bills down is was a go.
Southern Electric have just called and said that by their estimations NPower was going to actually cost me about 3% more than them and they could guarantee my bills would not go any higher.
I've not had my first bill off NPower so I can't say if this is the case as yet but if so...how can USwitch get it so very, very wrong? To go from saving upto £300 to actually costing me more.
Anyone else switched from these providers yet and seen the benefits?

Try using https://www.energyhelpline.com to get the best electricity/gas deal.
I find that https://www.ebico.co.uk (equigas/equipower) has a good tariff and they don't penalise you for paying quartely or even having a pre-payment meter!"Some say the cup is half empty, while others say it is half full. However, this is skirting around the issue. The real problem is that the cup is too big."0 -
Thanks I'll do that!
The whole thing drives me up the wall, think I'll buy a wood burning stove and some solar panels and tell them all to stuff off!! LOL
Until then I'll keep searching
