this site to get some cashback as well with uswitch...still ebico still southern electric just cheaper...hth's:D

Thanks for the link. I've been looking for one.

Anyway I've just spent the last hour doing some analysis between southern and ebico on who would be the cheapest to me. I've calculated data and plotted graphs that shows which provider would be cheapest for you based on your energy usage.
I'm off to bed now so I'll post the results tomorrow.

forgot to say I am with Ebico have been since august 2006 and can't fault them they even sent me an email answer 11 Q's and be put into a free draw for 10 fair trade Christmas hampers and the Q's were which paper if any do you read and so on just like that it was a thankyou from them for being with them which I thought was sweet and no other provider has done that...:D

I second[or is it seventh]all the praise for Ebico. Not least of their merits is having an 0800 freephone no. manned by real people - my best with them is Southern Electric who are exceptional in their decency, efficiency and courtesy.
EBICO!

I`m in s wales and with scottish power. I`ve just been browsing my bills.

Don`t forget to add the vat to your providers bill. Re SP, at first sight it looks cheaper but get the calculator out. EBICO will actually be a bit cheaper for me and I`m changing and the fact that it is cheaper is a bonus

I got fed up with all the ducking and diving and hidden best rates and tariffs and I LIKE the idea of paying on an as used basis

I have done it and applied for EBICO. It took me less than half an hour, including getting an SP bill online and getting readings

Their site is joyfully easy. I hope it doesn`t take too long now

Over the last couple of years I have switched providers loads of times trying to get the best deal, then finding I had to switch again when my latest provider suddenly announced they were going to put up their rates. Then I went to Equipower, and have been with them ever since, not because they are the cheapest (although they may be) but because they are fair - everyone pays the same rate no matter who they are or how much they use, or how they pay. Also the company is not-for-profit, so I'm not lining some fat cats pockets (well not directly).

How did you do the switch? Do you have to notify both companies, give a date etc...? How does it all work?

Then relax, nothing more for you to do.

Or do it on line

No need to tell your existing supplier, Ebico/Southern energy will do all that.
You will need to supply your meter readings of course.

takes about 6 weeks.

you need a recent bill in front of you and you need the current readings. The numbers they need are on the bill. It was really easy benjdr
