Gas/Leccy bill in an empty house

Hi all,

My 1st post here so go easy on me!

I'm going to be leaving my house for long periods of time and the gas/electric/water will not be used. Does anyone have any suggestions as to who I should get to supply these. I guess the easiest would be a company who doesn't have a standing charge?

Any ideas?
Cheers
Adam

    EBICO are flavour of the month.You would actually be dealing with Southern Electric.Simple bills, no standing charge. Do you have an existing provider??
    You are stuck with the water region of your area, might be worth asking if they do as Anglian Water, a no standing charge SOLOW tariff.
    If you mention the lack of use, your new suppliers would be more concerned about regular or proper payment.

    IF "no use at all" any company (inc Ebico) with no standing charge will do,

    if some use then Ebico will be best.
