And Npower comes up with a good tariff

grumpycrab

Online Fix March 2017 would save me a (net) £80. The £60 MSE Collective exit fee is a pain.

And it is cheaper than the Great British Collective NPower tariff !

Do exit fees apply if you're switching between npower tariffs? I'm currently with SP which doesn't charge for this

No, they shouldn't do. Does npower's website have a "find my best tariff" option? Or ask them.

EDIT: click either of the "already a customer" links at https://www.npower.com/at_home/applications/product_comparison/quote.aspx

I'm with nPower too and my Energy Online Fix is ending on 30th April 2016.

I'm not sure if I want to stay with them but I don't want to pay the 'early exit fee' nor do I want any harassment from them if I switched to another supplier. Definitely don't want any money owing to them either.

This January they did give me some money back when I had overpaid them for energy usage last year and they dropped the monthly payment from £46 to £32.

Now if I stay with nPower, I know I won't get a cheaper deal because I've checked and it would go up by £3.67 for the monthly direct debit fix for one year. I suppose that isn't a bad idea because I do monthly meter readings (stops them from estimating which I really hate) and I do keep an eye on my account online.

What do you reckon? I've looked at other suppliers and would really like to go away from using the Big Six suppliers (which I know nPower is one of them!) but these other small suppliers have early exit fees and don't have a 'Warm Home Scheme' (I apply for this because I am disabled).

Some Npower tariffs have exit fees and some don't.(Check the website)


I have changed individual gas and electric tariffs a few times since last October, when one or the other improved on the price I was paying; no exit fees to pay.

I have just changed to the online April 2017 fix, £20 if want to early exit. The advisor said it has just been launched today and it is cheaper than my April 2016 fix so I have transferred early, saved approx £10 a month.

More expensive than the Mar17 offering though.

Not for me though, that was the cheapest I did check before I rang.

Check everything is working though! I started a switch to NPower couple of weeks ago, but their account website appears to be having problems. After 2 days conversations it seems apparent they have an IT problem - but couldn't promise any action for up to 10 days. As all contract paperwork being sent online, I could not take risk, have cancelled, and staying with EDF until the Cheap Money Club page clears. This switch was for Gas - my switch of Electricity to EON going fine...

yes-switching "within" can incur exit fees if done too soon...however the fee is modest and maybe worth living with when compared to the figures the Npower advisor gives you for your new tariff.
