    1} Take a meter reading the day you move in.... take photos for good measure.
    2)You will have been told who the current supplier is - register with them.
    3) You will be on a deemed (expensive) tariff so
    4) use a comparative site to work out who to move to (work on an annual consumption of 9000 KwH for gas, 3000 KwH for electricity, (unless you're in a huge/tiny house)
    5) move your supplier... dual fuel may not be as good a deal as having separate suppliers.
