Yeah it is a longer fix, I wonder why that didn't come up then when I fed details into Simplyswitch and Engeryhelpline?

By readings, do you mean the annual usage? If so, then 466 units of gas and 3034 of electricity, in the M27 postcode.

But which units, metric or imperial? What does your meter read in?
You can't input either unit into a comp site, you need to enter kWh's. Your kWh usage will be approx 5,295kWh (if metric) or 14,985kWh (if imperial). Almost certainly the latter, if you have gas CH and DHW.

Which comparison did you use for that Stevie?

Energy helpline, I used my mothers post code, and put you down for monthly direct debits, and selected fixed rates only.

Not so, the MSE recommendation is to fix now, or to wait until everyone has announced their prices if you want to stay on a variable tariff.
The cheapest fixes left are the 2 from EDF.

Actually the OVO tariff is pretty good for a 12 month fix as well, in addition the Scottish Power Platinum 2015 becomes competitive with the free boiler insurance and servicing (worth around £150).
