Scottish Power Comfort Plus Control + Energy Price Cap

rubylr16

Hello,

I am with Scottish Power on a Comfort Plus Control Tarriff that involves having two meters, one charging at a cheaper rate and one at their standard rate. The circuit charging at a cheaper rate is part of Scottish Power's Weathercall system which they turn on depending on how cold they think it will be. 

I have lived here for a year and we THINK our two very old storage heaters are connected to the cheaper rate circuit and the water heater with everything else on the standard rate. 

We pay for our energy each month when we submit readings and get a bill. 

Does anyone have any idea how this system works with the price cap? Can we even switch to paying by direct debit to get slightly cheaper rates?

Is there a separate cap for our cheap rate? 

We are needing to know so we can understand how best we can save on our bills and also plan for some upgrading we might do over the next 6 months.

Easy way to make sure the heaters aren't attached to the "expensive" circuit - switch them on, and then go and look at the meter - is there a little red light doing a crazy "look-at-me" flashing dance? If not, then all good! (I'd usually say to turn everything else off first, but quite honestly it's probably not necessary in this case - if you have storage heaters charging the flashing light will be VERY obvious!
