    With that ratio, I'd suggest seriously considering a switch to EdF.
  • The chart shows the annual costs for 8000 units, split 81% night 19% day with EDF.
    The PAYG/Prepayment rates work out to be £244 cheaper than the Direct Debit :)
  • Thanks! Alas I have checked the EDF website and won't allow me to get a quote, so I assume they are not taking on new customers...

    EDF will accept switchers but not via their website. You have to phone them.
