I am with Southern Electric. Not the cheapest supplier. I pay £81 a month for duel fuel. I have done a search on the comparison sites and I could save around £175 a year if I switch to N Power or E-On. Trouble is:

1) There are complaints here about both companies.

2) Will prices rise or not this winter. last time we were scarred into fixing, they didn't go up like we were told here and in the media.

    1. So it doesn't make any difference to your decision

    2. Unless one tariff is a fixed or capped price, chances are any movement in prices will be across the board. Do another check if prices change, but don't forget to think about any early exit fees that may apply.

    According to Martin, this is a "golden moment to switch"
    Well it has been for months ... :rotfl:
