Am i fed BS by British Gas

Muscle750

So after years of been on British gases standard tariff i phoned them to say that i was far from happy with amount im paying each month which is a combined Gas and Electric of £240 a month. Both accts are just in credit. They said they could do nothing and if i changed it it would cost me more. I said that if i was coming to them as a new customer im sure id get a better deal which they said i wouldnt. The house is a three bed bungelow and theres only 2 of us living here. Any suggestions where to go for a better deal.?

For an unbiased view, use the Citizens Advice Bureau price comparison site
https://energycompare.citizensadvice.org.uk/

Take your actual annual energy used from 2 bills that are 12 months apart and use that in the website to get accurate price comparisons.

The title of your thread says it all. Another example of how poor customer service can be.

As you have been on a Standard Tariff and (I assume) never swopped you savings could well be substantial.

As others have said put your actual consumption for 12 months into a comparison site. The DD you will be quoted is a best guess. Let us know.

Swop and read your meters every month, monitor your bills.
