Offer of a Cheaper British Gas Tariff

Daz_17

We've had an Email from British Gas saying that their "cheapest and over-all electricity tariff" for ourselves is the Home Energy Secure (March 2021), for gas and electricity. Would anyone be able to tell us whether this is actually the cheapest with British Gas as they say and whether I would have to switch suppliers if I wanted to go with the Home Energy Secure one that is being offered me.

Thanks in advance

Do your own sums and see if there is a better supplier than BG for your actual consumption.

No one on this site can give you an definitive answer to this question.
You need to ask an independent price comparison like that ran by the Citizens Advice Bureau

It is only a case of answering a few questions, the answers are to be found on your British Gas correspondence.

Just done a comparison on there and it does not show tariffs from my current suppliers.

@molerat
I suggest you let them know so that they can investigate it.
I was only offering an idea (with a suggested site) to the OP so that they could verify for themselves if the British Gas deal was good for them. I have no input into that site (or any other sites in fact). And that site asks for the bare minimum of information, doesn't save any of your data and is easy to read compared to some other sites.

OP here is a list of all the OFGEM accredited price comparison sites https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/consumers/household-gas-and-electricity-guide/how-switch-energy-supplier-and-shop-better-deal/compare-gas-and-electricity-tariffs-ofgem-accredited-price-comparison-sites
