Hi. I am moving into a new home at the end of the month. Would I be better signing up to a fixed or variable tariff. Variable is so much cheaper but I’m worried about price increases

    Welcome to the forum.
    When you move into your new home you will automatically be placed onto the existing supplier's variable tariff.
    Whether to choose a fixed tariff instead is your choice; no-one will be able to tell you for certain whether it will be cheaper overall, or not.
