Hi.

First time post in this section so pls go easy :)...

Just looking for a bit of advice really as i am soon to move into a new all electric flat with my 9 year old son and not sure who to sign up with for electric. First off i am not sure if it is economy 7. I am unemployed so will be there during the day while my son is at school etc.

Are there any suggestions on who to go with..? I have no idea really what my usage will be, but pc will be on most of the day probably along with the telly... if that is any help...lol

    It's a case of try it and see. The first few weeks keep an eye on your meter and check on a daily basis how much you are using and how much it will cost.

    Use, say, 15,000 kWh to start with on a comparison site and choose an appropriate cheaper tariff in your postcode area. Once you have been in the flat a few months you can check again if it seems your useage is different.

    Note that as an electricity-only customer you should be fine with respect to changing tariffs now and then - your higher useage means you can take advantage of changing to a cheaper tariff without worrying about the cancellation charge.
