Hi,
Not sure if this is the place to say but i couldnt find a way to comment on the Cheap Enegy Club part of the website...
Im trying to compare my Bulb tariff with others but the details are incorrect so it tells me others are cheaper but when i do the math they arent. The Vari fair charges on my account are listed:

Electric: 12.60p per kWh Standing charge: 24.56p per day
Gas: 2.86p per kWh Standing Charge: 24.56p per day


CEC has 3.843p per kWh for Gas

13.503p per kWh for Electric




Am i missing something?

    Hi,

    You're missing two things.


    The first is you've put this in the alternative fuels section and not the main section (this is mostly for people using LPG, Oil, Wood(Pellets), ASHP, GSHP, etc). Most people looking here won't be looking to comment on this sort of thing - although some will.

    The second is that the comparison sites are (most likely) using the prices that you will be paying on Bulb come Novembers price increase.

    Anyone moving to Bulb now gets those prices straight away (they didn't get the 60 days grace period that existing customers get).

    Sadly Bulb put their prices up at a point when all the "fixes" were getting re-worked by the various suppliers (Eon and Ebico had 12 & 18 month ones worth looking at but you've missed those).

    The other Variable rate suppliers have followed Bulbs lead so the savings are now typically very small (or with companies you've probably never heard of - many of which appear to be struggling with the number of people switching to them).

    If you're particularly heavy one one fuel type over the other it might be worth looking at splitting your suppliers.

    Hope that Helps.
