Energy helpline, uswitch etc
How do people like Energy Helpline.com and Uswitch calculate your annual spend on gas & electricity? Do they use the same method as the energy companies i.e. do they use the daily higher rate method? I ask because there's a difference of over £100 between their figures for my annual energy spend and mine and I use the same method as my energy company i.e. the daily higher rate.

They take the annual consumption in kWh, multiply that by the unit charge(s) and then add/subtract things like standing charges (if applicable) and discounts (if applicable)
If by daily higher rate, you are referring to the higher tier 1 rate applicable to 2 tier tariffs (ilo a standing charge) they'll assume maximum take of tier 1 and the remainder at tier 2"Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100
