3 phase electricity

I live in a rambling old property which for historic reasons has a 3 phase electricity supply. Although no 3 phase devices are actually currently in use, different parts of the property are on different phases.

I have been totally unable to find any price comparison sites which include 3 phase tariffs - I am currently on Southern Electric's General Domestic & Off-Peak A 3P.

Can anyone help with how I can find a cheaper tariff please?

    The MSE way is to get your 3-phase meter replaced and your tariff amended to Residential.

    Only then will you start to benefit from comparisons.

    ....or not...

    replacing a 3 phase supply with single phase will cost in the region of £1500+

    Who quoted that? Surely all that is needed is a new meter and a new consumer unit.

    Your choice is change it, or pay above the odds for electric for as long as you live there.
