Stick or Switch....

My situation is i'm on a good non-fixed online tariff with Npower - Sign Online 21 for both electricity and gas till March 2012.

Now it costs me £40 to switch both of these fuels over to a fixed rate as well as the obvious higher fixed rate price.

What should i do?? I was thinking of sticking...being in a end terrace small 2 bedroom house...what's your thoughts...feedback welcome and thanks in advance ;)

    Why did you opt to take the nPower deal in the first instance?

    What has changed in the meantime?

  • Hi Premier,

    at the time i think i just thought it was a good deal but now with prices set to rise i'm in a bit of a dilema. To stay where i am or switch to fixed rate like most are advising and take the hit of £40 and the increased fixed rate. Just not sure whether it'l be worth taking the hit or riding it out till my Mar 2012 when i come off my contract period.

    The only thing to change is the price increase they are forecasting for gas and electricity. I was wondering whether it was worth my while changing to beat the price hikes with a fixed rate?
