How much are you paying?

I am paying for electric 29.7 per day standing charge then 3.1p per unit. For gas 12.28 per day standing charge then 14p per unit.

Water 117.82p in 59p waste out per cubic metre.

How does that compare with what others are paying?

Not sure if would be better off paying more per unit and no standing charge?

Is there an easy way to work out the cheapest service provider per unit for gas and electric?

    yes put your annual useage into a comparison website and it will show you the cheapest for you.

    If your a very low user, ur better off paying more per unit, and no standing charge. But if your not, it doesnt really make a difference.

    ur gas rates are pretty decent, but with the electric ur paying, you could prob find better.

    The best way to compare energy on compare sites is to calculate your annual Kw usage separately for gas and electric. You can do this from historical info from previous bills. This way,you get the best comparison accuracy.
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Are you sure you've got those the right way round?
