M&S Energy

Options
I want to know what other users think of M&S Energy. I have been doing a comparison for next years bills and are currently with Staywarm because we are both over 60. They offer a good price at £146.91 per month for twelve months with no limit on what you use.
M&S Energy are £131.00 per month but their supplier is Scottish and Southern Electricity and they have been in trouble before. I want an honest opinion if it is worth changing. Staywarm have been excellent and we are not afraid to put the heating on if necessary.
Thanks.

  • But e.on are behind Staywarm, who are a big 6 supplier exactly like SSE.

    If you're confident your consumption won't suddenly increase, why not save yourself £190 a year?

    As you are over 60 and possibly at home all the time I would stay on staywarm for unlimited gas and electricity.


    If that's all I was getting charged I know I would.


    I am on warmassist from eon and paying £112 a month, and that will probably increase, if I was to change to M&S I would be paying £130 a month or more.
    Getting forgetful, if you think I've asked this before I probably have. :rotfl:

    Yes, but that's your situation.

    The OP has already discovered they will save £190 by switching away from staywarm.

    It's up to you if you are interested in saving almost £200 a year.

    Of course, if you use more energy than anticipated, you'll not save that figure, but if you use less, you'll save even more. :)
