i have gas ch and hardly ever cook , all bulbs are low energy , no washing machine (take clothes to sisters to wash) , so i dont think i will be using much but worried that in winter i wont be able to afford heating bills

    The cheapest...
    You don't say what tariff you are currently on?
    Work out some annual kWh consumption figures (phone your existing supplier if necessary), put them into one of the comp sites (use annual consumption not monthly DD figures) recommended on the main board, and then switch using a cashback site to maximise your benefit. But move fast, as switching will take 4-5 weeks, by which time your consumption will be at the seasonal high.

    Personally I found eon to be the best for me, but based on your low consumption you may pay a higher tariff. I would phone the providers and get a quote from each and take it from there.

    Why would you do that when a comp site will do a comparison of all the tariffs for you in about 30 seconds?
