    Hi bramble1 - DO NOT ACCEPT Estimated Bills, as soon as one arrives read your meter and phone the numbers in so that a correct bill can be issued

    If you have simply registered with the current supplier to the house, they will treat you as a new account and put you on the expensive 'Standard' tariff, and keep you on it till you change it or move to another supplier.

    To get the best service from the Switch sites, you have to enter your annual consumptions in Kw for both Elec. and Gas, which at the moment you don't have, but if you post the size of house and family I or another responder can give you GUESS ESTIMATE Kw figures to enter into a Switch site

    I had to read my meter the other day as I am thinking of switching. I was under paid and taking into account what I had paid since looks like I have used £100 in actual electricity since the end of May/beg/June
    Owed £154 paid £160 now have a deficit of £91. This is pretty good for me but like most people I have not had my storage Heaters on during this period and was also away for 3 weeks.
