Hi


Martin's CEC tells me I can save £36 a year!! by switching to a 1 year Fixed deal with Bulb with no Exit fee. This is a duel fuel paying by D/debit.



Is it worth it for that?

Is there anything else to consider?


thanks

    That £36 is an estimate only all depends upon your actual usage .

    Yes I should add the £36 is based on my actual usage figures for a year.


    Anybody else have any pearls of wisdom?

    Is that compared to your current spend or is it based on your estimated future spend if you do nothing. Also don't just compare what you will save now - energy prices are still rising so saving that £36 now could mean saving a lot more going forward.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    It is compared to my current spend (so if use the same actual gas/elec as per my kwh figures) then I save £36


    To me to switch to another provider on a 1yr fix with no exit fee is a £36 saving either way so a no brainer ??

    Bulb do not have any fixed tariffs, they only have one variable called varifair.

    The first post says Bulb then later you change that to Avro.
    So I offered you the thread on Avro feedback as there is no point worrying about alleged savings if the company (Avro as you now say) is a basket case.
    But you have to decide that and reading up on the subject is the best way to learn.

    Only you can decide what saving you would like before switching supplier.
    You can set your CEC account to only notify you once the desired saving is achieved.
    (£25 increments to £150pa, and £50 increments thereafter up to £250pa saving)
