Switching... its not all transparent. Fix your Cuurent Tarrif

I am a Scottish Hydro (SSE) customer, and was looking at USwitch, Tesco Clubcard deal with Eon and other price comparison websites, and found I had a lot of information to take in between fixed rates and money back offers.

What I noticed was that the daily standing charges were higher with other utility companies. So I contacted SSE if they had any deals, (what company would take themselves out of contention and intentionally loose a lot of their customers) and they pointed me towards a deal offered on their sse website, where you can fix your CURRENT tariff for 12 months and AVOID the planned increase in tariffs. This was not a deal I found during my searches for better deals online.

So I recommend you check with your existing supplier if they have a deal you can move onto!

    M and S customers (provided by SSE) can also fix for a year at lower kWh rates than the new prices.

    Gas is 4.26p as opposed to 4.57p
