Compare prices

and other sites.
Single and OAP no reductions on prices .0 -
What you need to know is your actual consumption in kwh for a 12 month period.Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill0

Thanks for the replies , JJ EGAN and Robin9 yes, Iv'e looked at MS energy site of course , seems there are a few 'not enough info ' on 'contenders !, Maybe settle for a known one , who is near the monthly payment I am used to ?? Incidentally, , I learned a long time ago, 'never pay for estimated readings'
I still have a few 'marbles' left, so I will certainly check on Martin's site for comparisons ..
Again, many thanks , and best wishes0 -
SHell prices seam very good.
Maybe they have another suitable tarrif that you can move to for a year.
Prices have risen across all suppliers0 -

I would suggest you go with one of the suppliers you seem to have found who can almost match the tariff you agreed that ends in June. Prices have generally risen over the past 12 months (particularly electric) and if you can find a supplier, particularly a well known one, who can match that price from last year, you are doing incredibly well (or did incredibly poorly last year)
Consider separate suppliers if you are dual fuel.
You should be able to find a feedback thread for any supplier you may be considering switching to by using the forum search function0
