Worth Switching??

Just recieved my annual statement for gas & electricity!

i am on a prepayment meter with BG for both, on the standard tariff.

Now i try to be as frugal as possible but when it comes to gas & lecky i have never really bothered searching around for a better deal, until now!!

according to uswitch i could save upto £240 a year ( Scottish Power Online Energy Saver 10 Duel Fuel ).

i understand this would be a credit meter and DD payments but this is fine for me.

What would be the best way of going about this??

any advise would be appeciated!!

    It may be fine for you, but will it be fine for the supplier?

    As you are aware, you need a credit meter for that tariff. I would suggest you contact either or both suppliers and see if they would be prepared to provide you a credit meter, at what cost (if any) and whether they will want a security deposit.

    Or you could just stay with the PPM and use a comparison site to see what the best deal for you would be with that PPM.
