from dual fuel to separate

blehpunk

Hello, I'm moving house in a week! Currently on dual fuel, Eon Energy Online. I was going to just have them supply the new flat as I can't deal with the hassle, but as they are making me phone them too much I might as well. My question is that the cheapest dual fuel tarriff on offer to me from the sites is from M&S (with early leaving fee), but it looks like I'd save more from fixed EDF electric and fixed NPower gas, both withous early termination fees. Am I missing something? Is it okay to go with separate energy providers? I input info based on our old post code and the new one using the same energy consumption from the previous year and I get roughly the same results.

Dual fuel is not always the cheapest, a comp site check with your estimated annual kWh figures will reveal all.You wil be in a deemed contract with the existing supplier-you can't switch until you have first registered for an account with them.

sorry, you mean with the current energy provider in the new house?

Yes, with the existing supplier.

Plus don't assume dual fuel (getting gas & electricity from one supplier) is cheapest. When comparing, check the cheapest separate suppliers too.

But you do need to have a supplier to switch a supplier, so as macman says. register with the existing supplier first.
