Switching for my Sister in law

I have been asked to switch to a cheaper supplier for gas and electric by my sister in law who isn't able to do this for herself. Any basic advice would be appreciated before I start to go through the jungle of finding out which will be cheapest, ie, any offers you may know about. I would like to know which is better, duel fuel or individual.

Thanks.

    Hi hubb - The Switch sites need your Sist.in.Law's Annual consumptions of Gas & Elec expressed in Kwh to do an accurate job - Giveing them her annual spend is only a rough guide that gets a rough answer

    If you can't get the years consumption figures from past bills, phone her present supplier and ask them.
    Regarding the economics of Dual Fuel v Individual Suppliers. It totally depends on the useage of each fuel. When you go to the Switch sites first enter Dual Fuel and note the figures, then re-enter twice more for Elec only & Gas only
