FTB - comparison sites

Hiya,

I'm a first time buyer trying to find the best deal on gas and electricity. When using comparison websites I have no idea what to enter when they ask for annual usage. In the house it will be just me and my partner :)

Thanks! xx

    As woodbine says, most sites have a form of estimator built into them, this should at least give you some idea of what savings you may be able to make, try to use the more detailed estimator, one that asks the size of property, how you heat, how many people live there etc..

    Anything the site throws up will be cheaper than your current offering as when you first move in you are put onto the standard tariff paying quarterly (ie the most expensive) until you instruct them otherwise..
