Should I take my current supplier with me or go with the supplier at the new house?!

    Doesn't matter as you probably won't be able to keep any cheap deal you were on anyway.
    Someone please tell me what money is

    Unless your current supplier happens to be supplying the new property, you can't take your current supplier(s) with you.
    Instead, you have to register with the incumbent supplier(s) at the new property.  If you don't, they will block any attempted switch.
    At the moment there's probably not much point in switching unless a supplier of the new property has a poor customer service record or doesn't offer something you want such as Variable Direct Debit or Warm Home Discount.
    If you are on an attractive fixed rate with some time left to run you could ask your existing supplier whether they would allow you to switch back to them and keep that tariff, but they may well not agree.
