Hi everyone.

I shall soon be moving to a new house.
House has no gas.
Only has electric.
Heating is by electric storage heaters.
I have tried recently to find a list of electricity suppliers, who show their E7 (Economy 7 ) tariff
Has anyone found a website, that doesn't ask me a million questions first ?

Thanks all.

    Just consult a comparison site to find the best deal for you :)

    Great to do research before you move in, but you must register with present Elec supplier of the new house on the day you move in, and only when they have sent you a Welcome Letter can you start the Switch to another supplier

    All the comparison sites ask you to choose your requirement from a list of  "Gas & Electric" - "Electric Only"- "Gas only".  Opting for Electric Only brings up the ECO7 tariffs

    I'm not sure I understand you correctly, but simply selecting electricity only within any comparison site will not necessarily bring up all E7 tariffs.

    You will only see electricity tariffs compatible with E7 metering if you inform the comparison site that you have an E7 meter., and you will not see tariffs not compatible with E7.
    If you state you do not have E7, you will only see single rate tariffs compatible with a single rate meter.
    It does not matter whether you choose electricity, or gas & electric, both will show electricity tariffs compatible with the type of electric meter you specify, although looking at gas & electric will only show dual fuel tariffs, so will for example exclude those suppliers that only supply electric. However, you can with most comparison sites elect to look at separate fuels as well dual fuel, when you inform the comparison service that you have gas & electric. This will bring up gas only or electric only suppliers as appropriate.

    Before the sites ask what type of meter you have, you have to select "Electricity Only"

    Some sites look up your meter, but they're too clever by half: they then sulk and stop when they find you have an E7 meter and you list Neon Reef as your supplier.
    They're all surprisingly primitive; it's about time there were some clever sites that worked out whether separate or duel fuels were cheaper, ditto whether E7 or single rate was cheaper.
    As the OP says, it would also be so much quicker if they didn't waste so much time asking for your existing suppliers and tariffs only asked for postcode, kWh gas, kWh day electricity and kWh night electricity.  The savings are usually fake anyway, so there would be no loss.

    Not all sites work the same.  For example, Energylinx looks up your meter type based on the address you provide, for all searches.
