Yorkshire energy ?

Read your meters tomorrow and make a note of them. Ofgem will announce tomorrow who our supplier is and it will be this company who will want the readings. We then have to wait for this supplier to contact us and to tell us when the Deemed Tariff starts. I will be reading my meter every day from tomorrow as reading the Tonik thread, I want to upto date readings/figures as it could be a bumpy ride for the next few weeks.

Sad to see YE go been the best I have been with dreading the change as I am £266 in credit and can see a battle to get that back, it will be around £200 once my final bill is produced, fingers crossed a company that's on the ball 
Right now to have a look around to see my best swith. How soon can we switch from the SoLR

All my calculations are by Citizens Advice Bureau and confirmed by switch with Which. The workings of my earlier thread on tariff prices took around 45 minutes. All information/cost is all there to see on CAB but I don't know of any comparison website who does compare separate suppliers.

These are in the Yorkshire area and are by no means the end of my tariff comparing.

Have you tried Logicor for electricity?

Website does not appear to be working properly to give quotes, or to register interest; nor do they respond to emails. Last post on Facebook is October 2019. Are Logicor even operating?

Just enter your info saying you want gas and electricity.  Make a note of the annual dual fuel cost, then revise your quotation for gas only, and again for electricity only.

Add up the gas only and electricity only annual costs, and see whether the total is less than for dual fuel.

It's a doddle !

That's what I did and continue to tariff crunch by what you have said Gerry1. I replied to Philw who suggested he would like separate suppliers to be shown as well on comparison sites and not for him to work it out and that's how I answered him.
I agree it's so easy to do, if I can do it anyone can.

@Costa_del_Brid Yes, I can't understand why comparison sites don't flag up separate suppliers when they're cheaper than dual fuel.  Ditto, when single rate on the existing meter would be cheaper than E7.

Or perhaps I can: separate suppliers are likely to be ones that don't pay commission !  The business model for commercial comparison sites is of limited benefit for consumers because the best deals seldom pay them commission, so they can only be profitable if they succeed in steering punters towards deals that aren't optimum.

And me plus my neighbour.  Couldn't fault YE, been with them since Feb 2020 and have to say faultless from the start.  Like someone else posted, mabe too cheap.  Nothing gets anywhere close to the tarrif  we currently have.  The daily standing charge on some of these energy companies is disgraceful.  Need to get Martin to do a campaign for 'owning' our own meters.  I mean, how much can one of these contraptions cost overall.  Its like having a rental TV in the old days, never yours.

The capital cost of the meter is a minute fraction of the standing charge.  There are 101 overheads that are necessary to provide you with a gas or electricity supply; the suppliers have to meet these costs even if you never use any energy.  If there were no standing charges then your kWh rates would have to rise: the standing charge is just a rough way of being fair to all customers, whether their usage is low, medium or high.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Increasingly higher standing charge combined with lower kwh rate benefit high users such as yourself, "very low" users benefit from lower standing charge combined with higher kwh rate
