Ebico do not have any standing charges, as pointed out above. But you are paying a much higher unit rate as a consequence. Unless you are a very low user, you will be better off on a conventional tariff-which is why it was requested that you post your annual kWh usage.

You pay that anyway for having gas it's not a per hour rate.

Npower Go Fix 8 has a £36.12 standing charge per quarter and the unit rates are 3.38p per kWh. If you used UKPower's average for a medium sized house at 16,500kWh per year you need to multiply that together. 16500*0.0338=£557.70 then add £36.12*4=£144.48. That equals £721.98 then divide that figure by 16,500 to get 4.375 pence per kWh.

A gas boiler uses much more than 2kW. They average 2kW over the whole year but when running in winter it could be 10-30kW per hour on average depending on size of house, insulation and temperature settings.

OMG LOL ROFLMAO etc........... I only used the Ebico price 'cos it was straightforward and simple, I'm not using them or is anyone else on the thread AFAIK.

I think I'll go back to bed, or have a whiskey, or both.

Get some of that 40 year old Aldi whisky

Mind you bad weather storms coming from North might be worth making sure things are pinned down
