Gas and electricity - No useage figures

jayjay21

Moving into my first house soon so no idea on our useage, will only be in the house morning and evenings, it is currently with EDF, any recommendations on who to use?

You'd have to use the national average consumption for your size of property and enter that information into a price comparison website.
Obviously it won't be totally accurate but will give you an idea. I've never been with EDF so can't comment on them but personally I go with whoever' cheapest.
I'm assuming you're on a credit meter not prepayment meters?

These are national figures for the average low med and high users. Try each set for your area and see what comes up.

Gas in KWH
Low 8,000
Medium 12,500
High 18,000

Electricity: in KWH
Low 2,000
Medium 3,100
High 4,600

Do not forget. When you move into a property you are in a deemed contract with the existing supplier. Call them and set up an account with meter readings you have taken when moving in. Ensure you are on an initial tariff with no exit fees.

Then do a comparison and if there is a cheaper one elsewhere, switch.

New (usually cheaper) tariffs are coming out monthly, so if you want to be flexible and keep on the latest cheap tariff, consider switching to a tariff with no exit fees as well. A fixed tariff does not mean it has exit fees. Try not to get confused by tariff terminology.

Consult almost any comparison site.

Most will guide you even if you don't have actual usage figures.
It won't be totally accurate, but say 80% of posssible savings is better than none.

Or stay with EDF on whatever they recoomend you. (their best deals are not too bad, really) At least there are no early exit fees, and so as you find better data to use in a comparison, you can switch later without incurring an early exit fee.
