Why not switch for the Freebies? if u do it, say 3 times per year, average freebie, say £35. thats more than £100 off your bill. (You can usually only get 1 freebie per customer per website)

neas

can you switch supplier every 3 month and get £30 each time from energyswitch.com or is there a limit? :P

Hi
I am currentley supplied both my electricity and gas by E-on. My plan is the Price Protection 18 plan for both. My plan end date is 1st July 2010 which I would pay 50 pounds if I cancel before this date. I set this up in September 2008 and wondered if it would be worth me trying to change my electricty & gas supplier to save money. My last quarterly bill which I pay monthly DD were 165 elec & 294 Gas can you help please.

I changed suppliers through this site using Simply Switch last October and I am still waiting for the Amazon vouchers. I have phoned them four times and e-mailed them six times since the middle of February. They don't respond to the e-mails and I just get excuses and unkept promises from the phone calls. My advice is use someone else to switch.

Just done a comparison with all the sites shown on here as we are with npower who have not lowered their prices yet. All of the comparison sites gave npower as the top supplier for saving us money!

Agreed, http://www.comparebestdeals.com/gas-electricity/compare-gas-electricity/ has nPower at the top so do a few other comparison websites, it's a toss up between nPower and E.On - as there savings seem to topple the other Energy suppliers.

If nPower offers such great savings, why isn't everyone going with them?

I've just helped a neighbour switch and thought I'd have a look for myself just out of interest, I switched to Npower last July and thought, as everyone seemed to be saying they were one of the cheapest, I'd not be able to make a saving - how wrong!

So I started digging. I'm on Npower's online 11 tariff, seems I could save lots by moving to their online 14 tariff. Out of interest I also looked at how much I would be paying on the tariffs I guess (from the names) they offered in between - online 12 and 13 - as well as the latest EDF tariff (online 6 showing as the cheapest for me right now) and a few of their previous ones.
Seems Npower and EDF (so probably all) operate a 'bait and switch' system rather like the banks with savings accounts. Get us in on a nice low rate to beat the competition then open a new tariff and start putting the rates up on the old ones. This means the only way to save is to keep on switching, I just wonder how often its necessary - if Npower have had three new tariffs since last July that means switching every two months to stay on their lowest rate!

Of course with Npower I only get my £105 bonus if I stay a year, paying the same way - so switching to EDF will lose me that but I wonder if I can just switch tariffs with Npower, or do they operate a 'new customer only' thing?

Has anyone tried to switch tariffs with Npower and keep their discounts? If so what did they say?

You would only have paid £93.41 if you had been an ebico customer with that consumption

They are even reducing their gas price further from 30 March 2009, unlike nPower.

But you wont get a £30 backhander if you switch to them (and you might lose any nPower annual discount).

looked on their website and both gas and electricity are cheaper.

are they good? and reliable?

thanks for that
