E-on Next offering 1 and 2 year fixed again.

My daughter just received an email offering a 1 or 2 year fixed deal. Against her current variable capped rate where she is paying ~£92 per month they are offering 1 year fixed at ~101 p.m. or 2 years at ~£139. Is the current advice here still to remain on the fixed, capped rate?

    Depends on the unit rates / standing charge being offered. Can you post those?

    Yes, it depends on the rates and any early exit fees.
    The 1 year at £101pm might be worth it if it's really only 10% over the cap; the 2 years at £139 sounds less attractive.

    Yes, that was my feeling too. I'll see if I can access the rates and standing charges and post them here.

    I would certainly work out the annual cost at the expected usage for each - they wouldn't distort the monthlies would they !
  • I am an Eon-Next customer on a 1 year fixed deal (Next Online v7) that I was lucky to grab in September ending in October 2022. I cannot see any means of finding out what these new tariffs are via my online account.

    The £92 a month she is currently paying might be considerably more than her consumption i.e. instead of an annual bill of £1,104(12 x 92) her annual bill could be considerably lower. Therefore £1,212(12 x £101) could be considerably more than a 10% increase.
    On the other hand her present bill could be more than £1,104.

    So monthly bills are meaningless; as said above present and fixed kWh and daily charge are needed to make a comparison.

    Your fix will be very much cheaper than the new ones and also the reason you can't see the ones being offered (probably).

    On my a/c its the very first thing seen after logging in:
    Fix your energy prices for up to 2 years.
    As you’re on a variable tariff you can switch to one of our fixed tariffs.
    with a get a quote button to 'press'.

    But you can use this https://www.eonnext.com/tariffs if you want.

    That's only for your postcode / area --- mine is 22.80p/kWh and 24.02p/day for electric on that same 1 year fixed tariff.  Their SVR is cheaper though ;)

    It is 18 month tariff thus covers 2 winters + SVR is likely to go up loads on 1 April, however it appears to be a E.on Tariff with exit fees which has been offered to some E.on Next customers and put on E.on Next current tariff list

    Q by PM

    "Does this have an exit fee please - Fix to 2023 v2 Direct Debit version"
    To answer your question, all of our tariffs currently have 0 exit fees Smiling face with halo
