hi all

im moving into my new home today and i am querying the switch process.

i found this on the switch website - is this correct way to do things

http://www.which.co.uk/switch/energy-advice/moving-house-and-supplier

the current supplier is SSE who dont seem too bad
i think im a low user as there only two occupants who work full time during 9-5

is it worth accepting a new tariff with them or going onto a deemed contract and then switching

    You are in a deemed contract anyway, so you don't have an option. Give opening reads today and register with them on the cheapest tariff that doesn't have an ETC. The use any comp site with your estimated kWh figures to find the cheapest tariff for your region and usage.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    I suggest you use one of the comparison sites in this MSE article - theirs possible cashback, but check the cashback sitess mentioned too as they may offer an even higher cashback :)

    But you have to register withe the existing suppliers first ... then you will have a supplier & tariff to switch from :)
