Very odd. According to uswitch SaveOnline 8 will be £200 more expensive than SaveOnline 9 come 13th September.

I have to say it feels like the SaveOnline 9 prices are not correctly adjusted.

If all is correct, it seems a simple matter of switching from 8 to 9 on 13th Sepetember, submit readings, and save £200.

I've tried uSwitch to compare, and the tariffs shown are all at least £150 more expensive than my current tariff, saveonline 2.

Is this a reflection of how cheap my current tariff is (or rather was) or how expensive the current ones (e.g. saveonline 9) have now become?

Follow the instructions in this MSE new article to reject the price rise if you're moving elsewhere, without exit penalty:

Escape energy lock-ins as prices soar

(as per Martin's recent tweet)

I'm on hold now waiting to do just this (ditching SaveOnline v3 for EDF Fixed S@ver v2).

Hi sly,

Im in a similar situation to yourself with my current SaveOnline 2 expiring at the close of this month, and Im wondering whether to move to another variable tariff or go with edf's Fixed S@ver v2. My uSwitch results are all showing as more expensive than my current tariff, so the least expensive option (ignoring edf and npower as they havent increased prices yet) is SaveOnline 9 at £160 more expensive than my current tariff, verses edf Fixed S@ver v2 at £174 more expensive. This is assuming uSwitch have Eon's SaveOnline 9 prices correct as others are querying here.

Just liked to know what your reasons are for considering to switch to edf's fixed tariff and whether you think its worth it for me with a £14 premium? Thanks.

Lauren, this may seem like a daft question, but can you just confirm for me that the prices for E.ON's SaveOnline 9 that show up on uSwitch are those for 13th September onwards? These are the unit prices shown:

Unit prices

Gas7.116p per KWh (6.777p excl. VAT)3.032p per KWh (2.888p excl. VAT) above 2680 kWh p.aElectricity22.75p per KWh (21.67p excl. VAT)9.98p per KWh (9.50p excl. VAT) above 900 kWh p.a

For my usage, this shows up as the best variable price tarrif for me, but it does seem to be quite a bit cheaper for me than other suppliers that have put prices up, which makes me wonder if these rates are the pre-increase ones?

Hi all,

Just double-checked - these are the correct post-price rise rates for SaveOnline 9.

Is eon's warm assist not on your website or am I just not seeing it? I am not on staywarm.

Hi patty65,

The Warm Assist tariff is not on the comparison sites as this is a social tariff and isn't available to everyone.

The Warm Assist tariff is currently not going to be affected by the price increase in September.

I'm on Eon saveonline4 at the moment with a £30 cancellation charge until 1st November. Will they charge this if I move to an EON fixed price deal?

Hi dslator,

The T&C's of the tariff say we may charge the cancellation fee if you decide to change tariff/supplier before the end date of the product.

As Airmike23 says, unless you advise E.ON you are leaving due to the price increase.

I signed up to dual fuel fixed price 2013 three days before price increase announcement. Will i pay for fuel at pre 13 sept prices?

Hi stephen1211,

You will be billed on your new tariff from the date that you changed on to this, if this is Fixed tariff then your unit prices won't go up.

Hope this helps.
