Yes I have been looking at kwh 
so I am with British Gas on pre pay smart meter
electric unit 16.46p
electric standard charge 27.85
i used 4686kwh costing me 896.37 a year

gas unit 2.86
gas standard charge 36.19
i used 13830 costing me 575.43 a year

edf have quote me to switch to credit meter
1 year fixed 
electric unit rate 16.01
electric standard charge 19.53
based on the about usage would cost me 821 a year

gas unit rate 2.78
gas standard charge 20.79
based on the above usage would cost me 821.3 a year 

so with British Gas I paid £1471 feb20 to feb21
edf same usage would be £1282.

and the price hike for British Gas are going to about9% 

is this a good deal.??

Bear in mind I am a family of 4 who have all been at home during the lockdown and also use a lot of electric on a pond also (for anybody wondering how the hell has she used so much )

Did you do a full comparison on Uswitch with your usage

sophj

Yes edf was the cheapest in term of kWh and standard charge

Did you compare using Citizens Advice and 'Which? Switch'?

Did you check whether separate suppliers are cheaper?

That's not a good deal at all. There are much cheaper prices available, but you need to look at separate suppliers for each fuel. It might, however, be worth switching to a slightly more expensive company in order to get a fast meter switch; some of the cheaper suppliers may not be able to change your meters right away.
