Eon Save Online 9 or Southern Electric iplan?

rowenasilver

I was recently lured away from Southern Electric by Eon who promised to beat their prices etc and would give me a free energy monitor. So, I swapped to Eon (dual fuel). Then as soon as Southern Electric got wind I was moving suppliers they called me to say they could beat the Eon Save Online 9 tariff. So, in an effort to stop dinner from burning and get the kids to bed etc, I agreed to stay with Southern Electric. Which was probably a bit of a knee-jerk reaction just to get them off the phone! Anyway, now I have Eon ringing me telling me that there is "no way on this planet" that Southern Electric's iplan can beat their Save Online 9 tariff!

Anyway, after trawling the internet I cant find the Save Online 9 Tariff as this has been superceded by the Save Online 10 tariff. And so I am now very confused as to who is the better value supplier!!!

Does anyone know?? Or can anyone offer me any advice please?

No sour grapes on his part then!!!. Seriously I wouldn't be making decisions based on what some employee of a competitor thought. Its not good practice for a Ford salesman to recommend a Vauxhall if you get my drift, even if it actually was the better product.

Straight forward enough, go on each individual website and drill down each tariff to that in your postcode region and compare the KW/H unit rates

Choose which ever one has the lowest figure

Ignore any stupid incentives like 'Thank you's and cheap plastic chinese energy monitors which are essentially the crappy plastic toy in the cereal packet of the energy suppliers, all you should be interested in, is that cost per KW/H

Ignoring pricing for a minute (gasp!) - would you really want to be with a provider who could have put you onto a cheaper tariff at any time but only did so when you said that you wanted to leave? Forgive me for saying, but I'd rather pay someone a little more rather than have to put up with that kind of nonsense.

Just put your Electric/gas usage into Energyhelpline http://www.energyhelpline.com/ and whoever comes out cheapest sign up to them! Shimples!!

Employees should always mind what they say about competitors and their offers, but iplan with sse will be approx 22-27% dearer than Save Online 9 so I can appreciate the incredulity of the Eon rep when you told them sse had won you back on iplan. as other posters have recommended do a comp on annual usage as an eon save online 9 customer, you will see in today's market there is nothing cheaper from any of the energy companys than save online 9.

For my post code, using Moneysupermarket.com for high user

E.On SaveOnline 9 is £1,326.85

Southern Electric iPlan is £1,624.67, £297.82 more!

SaveOnline 9 was withdrawn on 21st September. Are you saying you still have the option of joining 9 because you are a vacillating seaweed?

There is no justice.

If the customer decides to go back to Eon, within 90 days of the change of supply, Eon will honour the plan they were on prior to the change of supply, unless that plan has under 3 months left to run, so yeah, they would get back on Save Online 9.
