Moving house advice

I have been well satisfied with staywarm during the last few years. In a fortnight we are due to move house to a very similar set-up. Currently the gas is with British Gas and the electricity with Southern Electric. I assume that we have to phone them once in the house and supply the meter reading which should talley with the out-going owner. That being so, will I be in any way compromised to use them? or do I say "I will use you, but only until Staywarm are able to take over?.

    Hi islandman

    This is exactly right, you are obliged under a deemed contract to use the supplier that’s in place when you move into a property. This only needs to be the case for around 4-8 weeks whilst a transfer to your chosen supplier is carried out.

    If you’re interested in Staywarm again for this new address, call up and get a quote, your price will know doubt be different to the current address, but it will be based on the new property details and your information.

    Glad to hear Staywarm has worked well for you. :T
