    Tariff is fixed thats the unit prices .
    DD is usage divided by 12 months .

    What usage figures did you give them to calculate DD / yearly usage .
    They haven't asked for any readings. I have a smart meter installed (not by me) which gives estimate readings on dual fuel 
    It currently says the following 
    Elec estimate = £5.52
    Gas estimate = £1.28

    Thankyou for your help so far.
    Is that daily? If so it would suggest that your monthly use will equate to around £180 (30x£6)
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Keep in mind that any monetary numbers you see on the IHD (In-Home Device) are only as accurate as the tariff details loaded onto the meter so need to check if that actually matches the current tariff...
