EDF- nearly out of lock in contract.

I am in December going to be free of my 1 year contract with EDF. I talked to some canvassers yesterday and asked if they are going to put their prices up again. They said yes they are. I just want to know if it's worth me asking if I stay with them, will they freeze my prices as they are still the most competitive ?

  • what was your tariff? EDF have allready announced price rises (and also removed there own cheapest fixed deals) - since everyone has announced price increases - use your annual figures to find the best deal.

    They have only just put them up !!! I am on online saver 7 (whatever that means) I can't find out the yearly usage as I haven't been with them a year yet and we got a new boiler last October.
  • OS7 finishes in december and its highly unlikely it`ll be put up before then - and the price didnt rise in november for OS7 - i moved from OS7 in july to fixed saver v2 (sep 2012( as it workd out cheaper than the new OS7 prices.

    Use a comp site with your estimated annual figures.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Wouldn't it just be easier to get a better deal with EDF ? After all, they are the cheapest out there.

    Again I don't know my annual usage because I haven't been with them for 12 months and we had a new boiler installed last October.

    And on what evidence do you base that without doing any comparative research?
    It might be easier, but that does not mean cheaper-for the sake of 5 mins work on a comp site.
    Use your estimated consumption if necessary-you'd have to do just the same to assess any supplier, including EDF.

    Excellent! Here's me trawling the comparison sites getting all confuzzled and now there's no need as you've done all the research for me. I can't thank you enough. Where do I sign? :D

    No need to be facetious

    EDF have excellent customer service and I am always in credit with them. Tell me who is cheaper and I will switch.
