EnergyHelpline or nPower comparison tool

This is strange.

I used Energyhelpline to compare tariffs.
Put my details in, based on monthly DD and kWh usage (12 months) from my last bill.

I'm on nPower Go Save and the second cheapest turned out to be nPower's own fix until 2014, with a whopping saving of £1373 per year

So I went on the nPower site and did exactly the same. The same tariff came up, but the annual saving now looked like £195.

I've double-checked and triple-checked to make sure I'm putting the same stuff in and not leaving vital info out, and still the same figures!

Baffled!

What are you spending per year currently on energy? Does a saving of £1373 sound even vaguely possible?
Try another comparison site and see what it shows as your current cost.

Oh dear, that doesn't sound right does it.

Could you tell us what
1. the annual consumption figures in kWh you have input
2. your supply region (or first part of postcode)
3. your current monthly DD payment.

I'm sure someone here will then be able to better help you

Sure, its AL10.

May 11-May12
Elec: 2566 kWh
Gas: 29922 kWh

£34 elec
£95 gas

The usage spiked between Dec11 and May 12 for no apparent reason. The account desperately needs a meter reading which I'll get this weekend and then push for an accuracy check on the meter. Regardless, the Go Save tariff is the std one I'm told so need to change.

I have put those figures, both kWh and £, into energyhelpline and NPower are coming up as second on the non-fixed tariffs saving £189 pa, energy online jan 2014 which has a discount on standard prices until Jan 2014. On fixed they are way off, 12th on the list. Unfortunately the boat has long sailed on cheap deals.
