First Utility v Eon Fixed v4
Hi everyone
I hope you can give me some advice as my husband is worried about doing this. Currently we pay £117 a month for gas and elec with Eon on their online energy saving plan. I called Uswitch yesterday who said we could save £37 a month if we switched to FU and Eon said we could change to their Fixed v4 tariff and save £20 a month but not get tesco points anymore.
I am all for switching to FU as we will save the most but my husband is worried as FU is a new company and does not much of a track record at the moment and they could go bust (?)
If we stick with Eon - is it a good time to fix? Will be fixed until Feb 2011.
Thanks in advance for reading and replying.

You may well think that, I couldn't possibly comment.

Don't believe anything over the phone do your own research on line.
Arm yourself with your annual consumption figures (in Kilowatt hours), and feed them into a couple of comparison sites, I tend to use Energyhelpine.That gum you like is coming back in style.0 -
FU customer service is rubbish by the way. Dont ever email them you will be waiting for a reply for weeks.0

I did get the annual comsumption figures and have looked at a couple of sites and FU and EOn fixed 4 are the cheapest two.0
