Dear all.
Hope u can help.
Im with Bulb on the standard variable tariff.
Last year i used 14,204kw of gas and 4691kw of electricity.
Martin advises that UW is circa 27% higher but fixed for a year.Im paying £212 per month at the moment but my useage is around £120 per month hi en Summer months.Im just buikding up some credit for the winter months.I dont need a £12 per month sim (£144 per year) nor do i need boiler cover or income protect.Can i opt for the sim and either bill cover or income cover for 12 months and not have boiler cover.Given £192 per year for income cover and £144 ,for the sim is this still overall a good deal.Guess it will still be in total over £300 ,per month but seeing other fixed deals at £500 per month? Please help.

Also maybe have a quick look at some of the other threads on Utility Warehouse on here. Put it this way - I'm a customer of theirs - but very much wish I wasn't!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

What rates are they quoting you for electricity and gas?
I have done a quote for my home this morning using all possible add-ons and they come up with 9,6p for gas which is ok, but 44p for electricity.
If I have not done something completely wrong they might have changed the rates without changing the name of the plan.0 -
Seems they changed the tariff today
Not so nice was that the old link from the article for Green Fixed 30 went directly onto the new tariff Green Fixed Tariff.
A confirmation for @EssexHebridean that you cannot trust them.

Oh this is a regular trick - they do it with bills if they make an error on those as well - simply correct the bill online, rather than cancelling it, but leaving it there, and issuing a revision. Then there is the matter of them ignoring meter readings if they can get away with it and their estimates would work in their favour - like my 31/3 one which didn't appear on the bill raised 8 days later!pochase said:Seems they changed the tariff today
