Quick question about switching from E-ON

dnkforums

Hi all,

After hearing the stories about the 19% hike, we used uSwitch yesterday to switch our E-on Energy Guarantee 4 scheme to not the lowest fixed price scheme (nPower - I won't deal with them ever again) but to the 2nd lowest - an EDF fixed tariff that runs up to September 2012.

I put in the projected energy usage for the next 12 months that we had on our EON statement and the EDF scheme, fixed, came out £7 cheaper than the scheme we are on now and that is before the potential price rise.

Does that sound surprising? I thought the fixed might be a little more expensive than a 'variable' scheme.

We have a 12 day cooling off period and we'd just like to know that the switch sounds correct..

Thanks in advance,
DNK

Yes it is right, the fix is only for 12 months, the fixes for 18months or longer are the ones that are dearer, apart from npowers fixerd rates, all the other co's fixed rates are classed as paperbill tariffs (you can of course still opt for online billing just no discount associated for doing so) which is why the majority of fixes are dearer - apart from Fixed [EMAIL="S@ver"]S@ver[/EMAIL] 2

actually the fixed 2012 is till end september so since introudction is was close to an 18 month fix than a year (17 months and 3 weeks)... it has allready been running since april
