Use a comparison website. How would we know what the cheapest price for you is with no information provided?

glamrochick

what information do you want and i can provide it ?

DragonQ

To know what tariff is cheapest, you need annual kWh usage figures and a post code (since prices change regionally). But you may as well just enter them into a comparison website - if you post them here, you're asking us to enter the information into comparison websites for you...

That's her choice but you should ask her why. There's no real reason to stick to a certain company.

You don't know how to add 4 numbers together?

But do you have a bill from a year ago?

Take readings a year apart and subtract one from the other. (Don't add four bills together.)

If you don't want to do this telephone your supplier and they will tell you your annual consumption.

Yeah true that would just be a giant number.

I do think it is a lot simpler and obvious to just work with the difference between two readings - don't need to track down each and every bill and find all the figures. Too easy to lose track even when you know what you are doing. (Especially if there are any price changes or nsc tariffs*).
