worth switching to 'no daily charge' tarif for summer only?

I'd also add, having seen Matelot's post (Ely's a long way from the sea!) that my absolute minimum usage is 52w an hour or 1 .25 units per day.

Going back to the original post this sure would be an interesting thing to do. However you could receive a bit of hassle fro your to and fro suppliers lol BUT the customer is always right and if it works out cheaper for you and you dont mind switching twice a year then why not. Standing charges are a bit pricey for pre payment meters (mines 21p per day) so if your not using a serious amount of gas/electricity in the summer then it may well be cost effective to switch to a 'no standing charge' tariff. Just be careful not to lock yourself into a contract with early exit fees.

Good luck

In my region, UW charge DD customers on their Gold package £1141 for average consumption. For PPM it's £1299. A 13% premium.

Surely you should be savvy yourself in order to advise others? It's like being taught etiquette by Phil the Greek.

We are not on about UW here though? On about switching to a 'no daily charge ' tariff.

Going back to the original question, as far as im aware EBICO offer a no standing charge tariff so may be worth a look. Hope this helps and let us know how you get on as i personally would like to see which direction you take.


EDIT: Just looked at a quote from Ebico that may help you. Price per kwh for gas - 5.41p and for electricity - 16.71p.
