ebico dual fuel

Mee

Dear All,

I recently used one or two comparison sites to check whether Ebico was still the most competitive for my low usage (gas (av. 1990 KWh/annum) and electricity (793 KWh/annum)). I noticed that some referred to an EbicoDual tarriff which I had never heard of. I emailed Ebico to find out whether that tarriff existed and thought other MSEs may wish read their reply and to know the background to it:

Thank you for your email. I can confirm “Equidual” is not an actual tariff that exists. This wording has been used for the benefit of comparison websites only; they wouldn’t display the Ebico tariffs unless we created a dual fuel tariff. This is because our customers are charged the same price regardless of payment method, single or dual fuel, we don’t offer a dual fuel discount and we weren’t appearing or being considered on the comparison websites because of this, so this was a slight workaround...

That is some seriously low usage. 1990kWh for Gas. That would give me 1.5 hours each day for only 3 months over winter of the gas boiler running. 793kWh of electricity is 2.2kWh per day. That's my best summer's day usage with virtually nothing happening except quick shower a few lights, the fridge, the mobile charger and no cooking.

Until a few days ago that was the average, last quarter was very cold so my annual average/used now is G=2164.64 kWh; E=809.02 kWh.

I live in a newish 1 bed flat with a more efficient gas central heating system with a very flexible timing system. Also recharge mobiles on trains/elsewhere, if can. Tend to turn lights on when I need to see/read; use kettle to heat 'just enough' water or microwave to steam veg. etc. etc.

... and just in case you were wondering - I do shower everyday...

Well that's pretty good at I'm guessing about 50 pence per day or £15 per month.:T
