My mother (90) is not on the internet.
What is the best way to get the best deal for her, short of me contacting all the energy providers?
Or should I just contact the best deals offered my MSE and see if they will offer her a deal via me?
Many thanks,

She could phone up a few suppliers and get quotes. But to be honest the quickest and easiest would be for you to go on to a few of the well-known price comparison websites and get quotes for her. No need to go "via you" as such - put in her details, get some prices, and as long as you're willing to put in your email address and deal with the initial paperwork on her behalf it'll be fine. I did exactly this with my in-laws recently.0

Get her annual kWh usage on each fuel from her annual statement. With that and her postcode, any comp site will give you the answer is seconds. Then manage the account online for her.
Most of the best tariffs will require quarterly DD payment.No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -

Gas and electric or all-electric, the solution as given above is the same.No free lunch, and no free laptop0

yes but since this is the LPG, Heating Oil, Solid & Other Fuels forum, the answer might have been different!0

Fair point. Since the OP has not bothered to come back and tell us, we may never know.
But since she'll be using electricity, at the very least, the comp site route is still the easy option for that.No free lunch, and no free laptop0
