    As I understand it, you only get the Argos discount with their Energyplus Argos tariff.

    That charges the same rates as their standard tariff. You can probably save a lot more by choosing a different tariff.

    Probably even better to use a couple of comparison sites in the resource bar above and see what tariff is the best available from the whole of market. Check out single fuel options too, as dual fuel is not always the cheapest option.

    Indeed I have been on the Energy plus Argos tariff for a few years now and saved a bit at Argos on some reasonable sized purchases (its off the on the day price so includes sales etc)

    However I have just switched to the Direct Go (I think) online tariff which should in the first year save me over £200 so well worth checking the other tariffs as you say

    Southern Electric customer service I have always found to be pretty good actually - never had any problems when theyhave changed DD's or some of the horror stories you hear. Uk based call centres aswell

    Yes, I too have found Southern Electric to be quite good with their customer service; I dealt with them as a customer of Ebico.

    The only issue I did originally have with them was the incessant, unsolicited phone calls they made trying to flog me another service (e.g. boiler care, etc). I originally said I was not interested in getting this type of call, told them again when they called and even called them to ask them to refrain ... but still the calls came.
    Eventually I complained directly to Ebico who told them to stop ... and then they did :)

    They only have my email not a current number as I hate that sort of thing!
