Cheapest supplier?

Hi

Does anyone know who is currently the cheapest Gas and Electric supplier?

We use £38 per month on Gas and the same on Electric with Scottish Power but we are extremely annoyed with their customer service.

We pay by DD and manage our account online and always give readings each month.

We pay £76 per month DD

If they are the cheapest then we will have to grim and bear it with them!

    Put your consumption - not your payments- into a comparison site. Once you get it in order of cheapness you should then check for reviews on the top companies service levels.

  • As above.

    If there were one cheapest supplier, wouldn't we all be with them?

    Surely that depends on consumption, size of house, installation etc.

    I was only asking if anyone knew of a better provider than scottish power

    Based on zero information, Spark Energy, since they usually come out top. Suddenly, cheapest isn't what you want after all, hmmm?

    No, the thread title asks for cheapest supplier.

    Perhaps if you'd supplied some information about your consumption,, size of house, installation then advice could be provided accordingly

    It's First Utility where I live and for my consumption (lots of electricity and no gas) - it may be different for you;)


    The only way to find out is to put your consumption in kwh into a couple of comparison sites to find out. You can't compare by using the your current direct debit amounts
