Depends on consumption, how long you lock in, etc. Try the comparison sites. Click utilities at top of this page

Depends on many factors:

Where you live.

How much you use

How you want to pay

Gas? Electricity? or both.

The problem we all face is that what is cheapest today, might not be cheapest tomorrow.

Be wary of someone recommending a company based on prices, as whats cheap for one person might not be for yourself (even if its your next door neighbour) for the reasons stated above.

Try to find out your usage in Kwh (Npower should be able to provide you this) and tap it in to any of the comparison sites to find out the cheapest, dont forget to check the tariff info boxes for information about exit fees etc.

Be aware that if you phone Npower to get your usage they will try to get you to stay so dont agree to anything with them until you have run a comparison (and despite what you may read on other threads the comparison sites ARE accurate if you use your Kwh usage)
