My daughter is paying both her gas and electricity to EDF energy, yet her gas is called a "single fuel tariff" can anyone enlighten me on this? the first 48 units for gas are @5.573p and the rest are @2.356p. we are looking to switch but are not sure what to click on to compare prices.

The cost of gas is given by a price for each kWh and that is what the 2.356p refers to.(which incidentally is a very good price and you will be unlikely to get a better deal.

However what do you mean by 48 units? The normal tariff requires you to pay for 1,143kWh(possibly slightly more with EDF) a quarter at a higher rate - which will be the 5.573p. It won't be 48 units though, unless the bill is only for a few days.

Thanks for your reply. i was quoting from her gas bill which seems to be split into 2 parts for some reason it has 2 prices for kw used, but what I reaally want to know is why it is called single tariff when she is paying both gas and electric through same company.

The gas prices are probably in two parts - one part with the two tier rates and a 2nd part with two tier rates due to their being a difference in the calorific value of the gas, maybe due to the gas expanding due to the changes in the weather.

When the company issued a gas bill, the calorific value is averaged as it can vary all the time, so it wouldn't be seperated on the bill.
