Npower Help

lukewallace87

Hello,

I'm looking for some advice as I don't really understand my gas/electricity meter readings - I'm looking to switch suppliers as I think I'm paying to much with Npower.

There is only Myself and my fiance in the house and we both work 5 days a week and our bill is £136 a month.

What information do you require from me to work this out?

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,
Luke

I'm currently with NPower and although I pay per quarter when the bill comes, mine works out at about £138 a month and that's for a 4 bed house with 2 adults and 2 kids, so I would say definitely switch.

I know I'm overpaying and just applied for my first switch yesterday

I'm assuming you're on dual fuel with NPower (like me), in which case you will find the information you need to switch in section 2 and 3 of your latest bill.

Hope that helps x

You require years usage or just put don't know in the comparison sites .
The estimated yearly cost or direct debit amount should be ignored the key is the actual tariff costs and any rebates .

Thanks for the replies.

I am on the dual fuel and the last bill I had was on 22/06/14 and everything was estimates so they can make up whatever they like.

I have now learnt to try and submit a meter reading every month, I think that is good advice for anyone. Oh i'm also £1011.84 in credit, but when I called npower about this they said I owe them £13.42p I dont understand how but anyways I have since switched to First:Utility and pay £86 a month...for now.

Regards,
Luke

Uswitch is not a power company. Your going to be in a mess if you don't get to grips with this. Take monthly readings and the formula on your bill work out how much it is costing you. (About £60 month is average for a well insulated house) otherwise your going to get stung.

We paid about £66 a month on a 2 bed terraced house with 3 adults and one kid. That was a dual fuel fixed tariff with npower. We were in credit when we switched last month. Your credit may be due to not submitting meter reading for a long time. Ask them for a current bill and see how it compares.

Npower produces a bill at least every 6 months. You should have one from November 2014. Was that an estimated one too?
