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.

Makes no difference, would need to contact them for new tariff to start immediately.

Hey there, if your Tracker tariff is coming to an end within 49 days or less, you can switch to any other tariff and the 9-month rule won’t apply

I filtered by domestic which threw up about 17 (?) tariffs but not the Jan 25 14 month

It isn't a current tariff, it was replaced with the Feb 16 month tariff, I just locked it in a couple of weeks ago...

Eastern Region

Interesting seeing those rates, any idea where I can see the current Economy 7 rates for Eastern Region? I've searched their site in vain.

@Slinky Eco 7 gets shown on the same page as electric and gas, and is hiding in plain sight.....

Thanks for that. I still can't find that anywhere! Just had a quote over the phone and it looks promising for us.

I ended up bookmarking the page, as it wasn't the easiest thing to find. 

For future ref, tariffs page is here...

Then ignore the quote button, put your postcode in, and play with the filters....

Made the decision, gone from Agile to E7. Left Tracker for a gas fix at the start of January.  Was good while it lasted.

Switched my gas tracker last night to 16M fixed ends 9th June 2026 6.29kWh 29.62 Standing Charge, my Jan/February gas bill £112.22 mind you we have the heating on 22/24 degrees C

I am only on Tracker for gas at the moment on the Dec 23 tariff and that ends for my on Friday this week.

I guess I will switch to a fixed gas tariff, but if I do it now before Friday/Saturday, I will be subject to the 9 month waiting period I think so I wouldn't be able to go back on Tracker if things improve.  For the sake of a few days I'll probably wait till the weekend.

From what I've read elsewhere, you'll be OK to switch back to Tracker, as you are in the 49 day period before your tariff ends, so they don't enforce the 9 month rule if you switch at that point. Why not give them a call and ask them about your options. You'll be pig sick if they put the rates up again in the next few days.

Gas down quite a bit tomorrow. Don't understand why that would be
