Hi All,
Exchange date is set for next week and completing after few days. So hopefully, if everything goes as planned, we will be in our home before christmas.
My current worries are on how to get the best energy deal as i know that a poor energy deal can cost alot and i do not want to be in such a situation.
after paying for the mortgage deposit, my account in £££'s from £££££'s :mad: that itself is a very uneasy feeling for me. Hopefully i will get over it when i move into the house.
Please help me with best ideas on how to find best energy deals and is it possible to get cashbacks when selecting energy suppliers?
Many many thanks in advance

You'd be better on the Energy board rather than here.0

Use a comparison site and look at the standing charges and kwh charges and make a choice. You can inform your current provider you are moving so you should know what your currently paying and switch later.0

is it possible to move this to the energy thread?0 -
You can't actually set up an account with another supplier before you move in.
Wait till you Complete. You will 'take over' the existing supplier contract, so read the metre, ring them with it, and ask for an account in your name.
Then at your leisure shop around and choose a replacement if better. Switch in the usual way.
A few weeks pending the switch will not cost you much.0 -
just found out that both electric and gas are on e.on prepaid meters.
