Have an Ohme Pro charger too. Would that get me the IOG tariff despite not being able to use it to charge an e-bike ?QrizB said:

Maybe using a kettle to be the house boiler for hot water at 100% efficiency and a fan heater qualify everyone for Cosy?0

My Dec 23 tracker ends 28 Feb, after looking into my options I have decided to move to the 16 month fixed as there does not seem much difference between the various Octopus tariffs when I have checked on Octopus Compare app the Dec 23 tracker not faring well, the 16M is just over £1 cheaper over the past month and the Dec 24 is £7.50 more expensive.If I change to the 16 month now do I do from today or from 28th Feb or does it not really make much difference? Can I do this online or do I need to contact them.0

Start it when your existing tracker ends - otherwise you won't be able to join tracker again for 9 months (you might change your mind, so keep option open).
Additionally I assume Dec23 tracker is cheaper than any other option at this time? Therefore don't switch immediately.
I'm not sure if it can be done online. Dual fuel I think yes, but think single fuel switching doesn't work properly online. Contacting via social media is an alternative, or email I guess? Perhaps even phone?PPI success. Banding success. Double Dip PCN cancelled! South facing solar (Midlands) and battery. Savings Session supporter (is it worth it now!?)1 -
