Eon - am confused

abwsco

Gas is currently through EON and my bill says it's energyonline with prices on bill of:

First 2,680kWh each year 6.914p

Next kwh 3.008p each

However, if I go to their page to see if I can do better I get the following.

Current plan
6.00 % Direct Debit Discount
2.00 % Online Discount
Gas
Normal units up to 2680 kWhs per year
7.2597 pence

Normal units
3.1584 pence per kWh

All prices shown are inclusive of VAT at 5%.

You can switch to the following products:

AgeUK Fixed Price July 2013

Do you want the reassurance offered by a fixed deal as well as the benefits from Age UK? Then Age UK Fixed Price July 2013 is for you!

• Fix your energy prices over two winters
• Discount for paying by fixed monthly Direct Debit
• Cold weather payment
• Free welcome pack

• £10.50 Guaranteed Minimum Cold Weather Payment

Gas
Normal units up to 2680 kWhs per year
7.74165 pence

Normal units
3.53955 pence per kWh

Sorry if I'm being really dense but am I actually on Energyonline as some comparison sites are saying it's an incorrect tariff when I select it (so I can't get a compariosn for a new supplier) and also can we sign up to AgeUK fixed price as we're still under the age of 50. I thought it was one for OAP's:o

Also, with a year usage of 11,000kwh should I grab the fix whilst I can as I know they've still to put their prices up.

Thanks

Hi

The prices on the bills won't include VAT. The prices shown on the online account do include VAT at 5%.

With regards to tariffs, you CAN switch to Age UK but you just don't get the cold weather payments if you're not of eligible age.

I would suggest doing a price comparison and compare your current cost with the Age UK Fixed and the Fixed Price 5 tariff. It will be a gamble but you need to guess whether the price increase will be enough to justify changing plans. There ARE cheap fixes with other suppliers too so don't rule those out. However, if you wish to stick with e.on, i personally would choose the fix and then review once the price increase is announced. There aren't any cancellation fees on this tariff so it should be ok to do it this way- that's what i've done anyway (but changed to E.ON Fixed Price 5.

Energyhelpline say that there are rumours that e.on will announce increases in the next week. Whether it WILL happen this week remains to be seen- but based on past increases it is practically a certainty that the other suppliers will follow SSE, ScottishPower and British Gas.

Thank you, that's really helpful:) Looks like the Fixed Price 5 is only for duel though. Still got electric with BG on websaver 11. It's a nightmare trying to work out best option with cancellation fee for that as well.

If you inform BG before 18th Aug, when increase takes effect on unit rates, they will waive the £30 canx charge
