Are you considering switching from a variable deal to fixes?

Yes, why not. I do as it is cheaper. But last time the difference for me was in the region of £30pa (ignoring any cash back deals)
But is the Daligas a fixed or variable tariff?

Its a Variable - Daligas Standard Spring 17 £0 Exit fee / £15 cash back


The Fixed - Daligas One Fixed Spring 17 has a £20 Exit Fee / £15 cash back

the saving is on the cash back . . .no real saving on the energy cost . .

I used Daligas last year and my feedback is given on the thread in this forum. It is not a sophisticated supplier so you really have to be on top of your own usage and understand how to calculate the bill yourself to check their bill.

StopIt

I will normally switch for £60 a year saving. Lower than that is too much of a pain in the bum, especially if the current supplier has been decent. However if I have any problems with a supplier then any savings + the promise of better service is enough.

Checking my own bills hahaha,
I don't think I wanna go down that road,
And my Current supplier tonik are behaving very well with no issues so far,
the only real saving is the £30 cash back,
Like you said StopIt It could bee too much of a pain to switch for £30 . . .

I'd also take into account what standard of service I am getting, a decent standard of service is worth a few quid a year.

Switching to Iresa has learned me a valuable lesson. Firstly I would not transfer for less than £100 p.a if things were running really smoothly with the current supplier. Secondly if I did switch the proposed supplier would have to have good Trustpilot reviews in excess of 200.

I was really happy at Eon. I liked their tariffs, back office system, and rewards. Unfortunately they abolished their rewards and increased their end of fix tariffs, by almost 30%. I had no recourse but to switch, despite their good operating systems.

The switch to Iresa was not straightforward, and I have really lost confidence in the company due to their really poor communication and operating systems. Despite an increase in my gas and electric well in excess of £100 pa, I have switched from them after only 3 months. As I said I have learned a lesson and require a balance of good customer service and competitive tariffs. The cheapest is no longer the best for me!
