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.

    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.

    FU customer service is rubbish by the way. Dont ever email them you will be waiting for a reply for weeks.

    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.
