Hi,

I need some advice regarding who to choose to supply my energy when we get our new house in the next couple of weeks.

Who is the cheapest? I have no idea how much energy we will use but as FTB we will be being very careful etc, but I have no preious experience of this to help me choose.

Would like to get cashback on a new account if possible too (more pennies for the house).

thanks in advance for any advice.

Kate

    Depends an your usage and region. I realise that you don't know how much you will use but is this an all electric property or does it have gas central heating? The typical average annual kWh figures that you will need to enter into the various comparison sites will to get prices will vary according to your needs.
