Maybe like many others my fixed rate with EDF is about to end.

Ive gone to uswitch and the 'best' deals are showing for UF and Ovo. Like many others I guess, I havent heard of either, so go searching for reviews. UF dont look good, and OVO are mixed.

I just wonder if you guys can offer any tips on OVO ?

I am also trying to work out if the EDF plan till 2017 will be worth taking up - as I like the idea of fixing for a few years - when Im guessing the only way is up (baby! )
My gas consumption is 9454 and Electric 2426 for the last year.

Thanks in advance

    EDF 2017 carry s a hefty premium like £200 a year extra for me .
    Ovo many have joined and as its a small new company i expect it may be slightly overwhelmed .
    I joined transfer as normal DD as expected yet to receive first bill .

    I went for edf fixed till july 2015. OVO was £40 cheaper fixed till may or june 2015. reading some of the OVO switching reveiws i opted for the easy root of staying put. Dont think the fixed till 2017 is worth it though.

    I would check EDF's new tariff Blue + fixed till August 2015, this worked out cheaper for me than my April 2015 tariff and the July 2015 one I looked at before.

    My EDF-Ovo switch has gone through without any problems so far.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Yea, never thought about looking each month to see if the rates have changed, this is the best thing about not having the early exit fee :)
