first time buyer - what services?

wigwam_salesman

I am finally ready to move into the house I bought...I was going to use uswitch to see what the cheapest gas/electricity would be but they seem to need a current supplier.

Can anyone recommend a website to show the best deals?

I need to know the same for water as well so will tack it on here rather than cross-posting.

You need to register with the current provider and give them meter readings even if you are plaaning to switch as it takes several weeks to go through, so you will be billed by them for a short period.

I would recommend using energyhelpline to comapre suppliers and use either BG or your local electricity provider's standard tariff as a reference point.

As you're looking for the cheapest, it doesn't matter who you use as your current supplier to compare against. Ask the comparison site to estimate your usage, and then simply look at the results on price. Just go for the lowest listed price. If the listing indicates that they're all more expensive than your existing supplier, then the supplier you selected is the cheapest, and they're the one you should go with.
