unlimited power usage for one off fee

I have heard, although too good to be true, that there are energy companies out there that will give you unlimited gas and electicity usage for a fixed monthly fee. Is this true? I would be very interested in this as I rent rooms to my tenants and this would work really well for my rental figure. Please advise.

    Sounds like Eon's StayWarm tariff.

    Catch is that after the first year, the next year's payment is based on the usage during the previous year. So use a lot first time round with say a bad winter, and pay for it the following year..

    Hi iffy100,

    Kind regards

    Yeah, staywarm is the only tariff I've heard of that works on an "all you can eat" basis but as said above, it only works for one year then they we shoot your bills up the following year to make up for it..

    Thats if you even qualify to go on it, and my guess is you wouldnt as its for over 60s and there are a lot of restrictions on it (which I would imagine includes rental properties)
