    Done calculations till my eyes are bulging::)
    With me never away, in house 24/7, high usage during winter on both gas and electric, but way less in summer, so it levels out over the 12 months, I don’t think the SC makes much odds to me?
    That’s why with SP, I have been as much as £300 in debit, every year, they never changed DD, but it always ended the year in credit, as it has this year.
    Perhaps they may stop doing that in future, who knows !
    Going for a middle. SC seems the best for me, can normally predict my usage, it’s pretty constant year on year, unless we get a really hard winter, which are not the norm these days.
    Cold house though.
    Dehumidifier been on since begining of sept, ( condensation),that will use £7 PW with next tariff:eek:, it’s that or streaming windows and mouldy curtains etc.
    OH would have ch on 24/7 if I didn’t go round turning rads on/off :rotfl:

    I had wondered at changing tariffs from high SC and lower unit price in winter, to lower SC and higher unit price in summer .
    Can switch tariffs with SP free?
    Stay warm was ideal for this house when I was on it !

    Looked at the other big six, I can save roughly up to £100, with Npower, BG, first utility, not edf though for some reason.
    Reviews of them are putting me off though .
    Been with them all in the past, no bother then, but there was not the choice then.
    Like I said, you pays your money, you takes your chance.
    Will keep looking:cool:
    I doubt many EE will stay with SP.
    Thanks for replies all
    :beer:
