Atlantic and Npower are topping most peoples cheaper supplier list, but both have not changed their prices since May and April.

Should I give them a miss, because of this?

I moved from Npower to Powergen online in June, now looking to move again with my top three suppliers as Atlantic, Npower and wait for it British Gas.

Should I go with British Gas as they have only just increase their price?

I would save the most money if my Electric is with British Gas and Gas is with Npower, but I'm not sure on Npower plans for a price increase.

    You should also note that British Gas's Click Energy prices have not increased since the 1st July.

    Get a coin, flick it in the air, call 'heads' or 'Tails' whilst coin is in the air etc etc

    Seriously, nobody can give you any answer to your question, all of us just guess on when, and by how much, prices for any company will change.

    There is a pattern of companies delaying their price rise until well after the others to attract new customers and then raise them.

    Yes and that`s why the switching sites are making a fortune.

    After humming and harring for months about who to switch to,I finally decided to give https://www.ebico.co.uk a go.

    i'm with atlantic - i seem to recall that they have guaranteed not to increase their rates again this year - dont know if that is only for existing customers or new ones as well - also atlantic quotes include the rebate after a year of 1 months dd - if you dont stay with them for a year their prices would be 8.5% more expensive
