Understanding my cheap energy club search

anoncol Posts: 982 Forumite
Hi,

I've just fed our KW usage into the cheap energy club to see if i can find savings, and the costs of the new deals come out £4000 more than i'm already paying.

Currently gas: 9400kw/h
Currently elec: 2870kw/h

We only pay £1k a year.

So i put the "less accurate" costs method in and the comparison chart is crap. I cant see unit costs or anything of the new deal i'm signing up to? How the hell is this transparent? Sounds like a right con to me. Especially when the numbers aren't even adding up!

    Check again using your annual consumption figures.

    By guess is that you didn't change one of the fuels to an annual amount, and left it at the default monthly amount :)
