    TheEnergyShop refused to calculate 200kWhr/year of gas. uSwitch calculated gas costs as -£37. Your exceptionally low consumption has "defeated" the comparison. I doubt Simply Switch was any better but I decline to use a service intent on harvesting name and address data.

    The issue is that there is a "fixed" deferred discount:eek: for gas of £52.50 on your current tariff, i.e. more than the cost of your gas. This issue of "free gas" has been discussed here (or elsewhere) before but I cannot recall the outcome. Perhaps you could post how NPower handles that. I cannot see their T&Cs stupidly offering "free" gas.
    I am on a duel fuel tariff with Npower and do not use any gas. The account gets credited with £63 every year with free credit which is then used to pay for the electricity. They do offer "free" gas and extra money on top for having an unused gas supply.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    Been checking switching sites regularly to keep pace with the market and cannot find a deal as cheap.

    Unfortunately come the end of this deal my leccy will be going up by £30 odd quid a year.

    With Gas consumption as low as that, you are probably best off with Ebico for GAS ONLY
    Visit the Switch sites for Electric only prices - and then re-visit for Gas only prices.
