Confused about electric and gas

Hi,

I've just moved to a flat with my partner and I am unsure what to do about gas and electric?

We are with Swalec at the moment. The plans are..

Gas : General Saver | Direct debit 4.30p unit 16.45p Standing Charge
Electric : Domestic Standard Direct debit 14.12p unit 16.45p Standing Charge

I cannot find these plans on the compare websites so I just put in the standard plans. I am confused about the standing charges etc and I don't know weather to switch or not?

When I changed the Swalec account to my name they setup DD of £40 Electric and £62 Gas.

I don't know out usage as we were both previously living with parents but we both work 5/6 days a week 9 til 5 so will only be there evenings and weekends.

    No I'm not but I did see the iSave Fixed v4 March 2014 on the comparison websites.

    I just dont want to make a costly mistake and I have read a few bad reviews on first utility.
