    Hi itzmeraaz - Be aware that as a 'New' customer Scot. P would log you as a new account and put you onto an expensive 'Standard' tariff
    Have a look at SP's web site for the prices and tariff alternatives in your area

    Why would they do that? If you are on E7 then off peak is cheaper, and peak is more expensive. If non E7, it's the same.
    If you say what tariff you are on it would help.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Hi itzmeraaz

    That is definately not the case and like macman has said, if you are on a 2-rate tariff, i.e. Economy 7, your night rate will be far less than your day rate (normally around half the day rate).

    If you are online why not set up an online account with ScottishPower? That way you can update meter readings and generate bills as often as you wish. This will help you monitor your consumption and confirm to you exactly what you are using. Check out the link below for more details:

    If you have anymore questions let me know and I will be happy to help.

    Kind Regards
