    Within quite a wide range of annual consumption you do not need to have exact annual consumption to get a % cost difference figure or a listing of tariffs in price order.

    Comparing Fix 8 and Fix 10 for "average" consumption (16,500 gas and 3,300 electric) there is very little cost difference. I will leave it to you to compare tariff features such maturity dates. Remember that NPower tariffs are commonly "deferred discount":eek:, so the annual anniversary is important to the cost calculation.

    also bear in mind a fixed tariff only fixes the unit rate charged, and Npower have just reduced gas rates by 5%, which on Go Fix 8 or 10 you will not benefit from. The direct debit is always variable in so much as if starts at £90 a month but the power co believes your usage is more or less than that per mointh, 6 months in to your custom with them, they will amend the monthly payment amount accordingly.
