New home & choosing

Hi all

Was wondering where to find advice for choosing the right provider when you are a new home owner.

We have no usage history so the comparison sites aren't much use.

Is there a comparison of all tariffs somewhere wher you don't have to put current usage in?

Thanks

    First of all you will have to register with the current suppliers before you will be able to switch.

    Then take a look at the comparison sites. Many such as energyhelpline and uSwitch allow you to compare even if you have no idea of annual usage in kWh, but as is often said, the results may be somewhat erroneous. You can only get accurate results if you compare actual usage ... anything else involves estimations.
