  • Hi Fodrick,
    Suggest you visit one of the comparison sites, where it depends on your area, and your usage. I like Firsthelpline, but there are many others.

    As its a new move, you wont know usage, so for a guideline you could put it what is considered "average", which is 20,500 Kwh Gas, and 3,300 Kwh Electric. (put in any suppliers as your current ones if you dont know who it is)

    Don't forget to take meter readings and give them to the existing supplier of your new property when you move, even if you are planning to switch.
  • Im an average user on Gas and Electric. Im from Manchester if thats any help.

    Who would be my best choice supplier?

    Thanks

    Not sure whether this is with uswitch or the energy helpline you have an option where you do not details of usage to enter more details and they will estimate which is the best

    Card meters are usually more expensive to run than credit meters. The cheapest option would be to have them removed and pay by direct debit.
  • Is there really that much difference ? Also what would the cost be to get them replaced ?

    Paying by card meter compared to dd can be up to 20% more expensive. Most companies will swap them for free.
