Moved to a new house

Hello All,

I have recently moved to a new build house and my supplier is E-on. As this is a new build I have no information on usage so am finding it difficult to work out whether to stay with the variable tariff or go to a fixed. What Would you recommend I do in this situation.

Thank you.

    Per the MSE article your choice is to stick with E.ON Next Flex (the variable tariff) or try to get onto Next Online V14.
    The fix is 30% more expensive at present but MSE think it could work out cheaper overall.

    Contact them with meter readings to set up your account, and stay on the deemed tariff. Without information about usage that's the best option.

    Could I ask why staying on the deemed tariff when there is a recommended fix that Eon Next could offer this customer only 30% over the current cap with the 42-46% expected rise coming October....and the fact that energy use will be minim til October being summer?

    Just use the standard estimated kWh amounts for your type of property, it'll be near enough to get you started.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
