Moving from Scottish Power

greyhound31

Just had my bill in from Scottish Power for past 6 months and I am still in credit, paying £52.50 a month DD for dual fuel.

so I thought I would do a comparison on Energyhelpine and it said I could save £113 with Atlantic Electric and Gas. However, when I looked at the breakdown of the price I pay per Kwh on the website does not tally with the figures on the back of the bill I got today. Is there a way to overcome this?

Also, anyone know of good cashback deals for Atlantic?

Be careful.

If the unit charges the comparison shows you are not the same as the ones you are charged, that is probably because you have chosen the incorrect current tariff. If that is the case, then the suggested savings will also be wrong, but the annual price of any offerings will be correct.

You might be able to manually enter the prices you are charged if you can't find/don't know the name of your tariff?

That's unfortunately not an option I've seen with any comparison site I've used.

That's because the overall cost is not usually calculated just from the unit costs, but most suppliers & tariffs also include an arrany of various discounts (and sometimes additions) that need to be allowed for e.g. discounts for dual fuel, paperless billing, customer provided meter readings, payment by DD or prompt payment, standing charges, etc.
