Best supplier/tarriff for empty property
Thought it worth asking in case someone else has been through this one recently.
We have a house which is empty and on the market, so will hopefully sell within a few months.
The heating's kicking in for a few hours each day so there's a moderate gas usage, but there's only about 1 kWh of electric being used each day.
Any suggestions for suppliers/tarrifs, bearing in mind the need to cancel everything within a relatively short period of time if it sells?
I had thought about Eon, with a quidco cashback that could compensate for the penalties when the house sells.

Most exit penalties dont apply to a home move so I wouldnt be too put off by them.
Put some very low usage figures into a comparison site and see what comes up, anything with a low primary rate really, be aware unit rates are usually higher with E-on but with a generous discount (up to 27%) but no discount on your final bill (which if the house sells could be at any time)Missing Tesco R&R since Feb '07 :A & now a "Tesco veteran" apparently!

Try to make sure you go for something without a daily standing charge

Why are you heating a house you aren't living in? It won't stop it getting damp, you need to ventilate for that. You need to be on any no standing charge tariff and turn the heating to frost protection.Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0

Presumably to prevent frost damage ... although the risk of that is now subsiding at least until next year.
Also, it could be a requirement of the insurance unless all water systems are fully drained down, but this typically ends at the end of March until the Autumn"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 -

I don't think it would help with viewings for the house to be stone cold. The heating's only on during the day at a very low level.0
