Hi.
I have been with Scottish Power for a while now, moving from one fixed plan to another, and to be honest, i have had no problems. Now i know i should be looking around, so i did. On Uswitch the supplier BULB came up and was quite a bit cheaper on a normal variable plan.

I know very little about this company, so the obvious question is, do any of you people use them, and what are your overall experiences. I have always entered my reading quarterly online with Scottish Power, does this work the same.Any information would be great.

Thanks

    Been with them since mid December 2018, they were not the cheapest on my searches but I don't like these really cheap company's they seem to try and get so many on board then up the price. Outfox the Market, my previous supplier did just that, my DD was going to go up to £119 from £50, then they kept altering it, £109, £87, then £102 so before they could implement the price increase I moved. I think the cheapest when I searched was Peoples energy, they wanted around £64 and Bulb was £67 for my 2 bedroom flat.
    Someone please tell me what money is

    I am with one of those so called *cheap companies* and its is one of the best I have been with. The website may be basic but at 11.75kw no complaints from me. There are good and bad whether its a large or small operation and does not do to generalise.

    Hello


    The first thing you should do is sign up to MSEs cheap energy club if you haven't already done so.

    But, in answer to your question, Yes, I would highly recommend bulb.

    If you head over to the referrals board, there is a host of people offering their referral code which will get you £50 energy credit for joining them via the referral code.


    Ive tried a few including Outfox the Market and Bulb top the small suppliers for me, customer service has been excellent, website functional, communication good.
