1st time doing electricty and Gas

gingertrish

I am looking for some help.

This will be the first time I have had to get Gas and Electricty for a property I am renting. I don't have any previous details and not sure what I am meant to be looking at

Its a terraced house, with an electricty meter, which I want to change.

When I get quotes it wants to know who I was with before and costs, but I have not been with anyone before

Can someone tell me how to get past this loophole or what I need to get going in the first place and make sure I get the best rates.

Thanks

Why do you want to change the meter? Do you mean that you have a PPM rather than a credit meter? You are currently in a deemed contract with the existing suppliers, so you can't switch until you have submitted reads and opened an account with them.
To use a comp site, use your estimated annual kWh usage and enter any tariff as current. It doesn't matter which, the point is to get the comparative results.
