Best time to compare?

adzy77

[FONT=&quot]I’m just trying to think when the best time of year is to compare energy prices. For example, if I do it now on the energy saving club, I will be entering my kwh usage for my last billed period which is probably the highest of the year.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Is this the best time to compare with such high usage to give a true reflection on what I’m likely to pay for the rest of the year?[/FONT]

You use your yearly average to compare not a single period .
Ignore the direct debit estimated cost all that counts is the tariff charges and any discounts .

That makes more sense

How do you think its best to work that out considering I haven't completed a full year yet? (8 months in)

Just use the don't know in the comparison site .
Usage does not really matter the key is the tariff .
