Fix my rate Gas & Electric?

Should I be fixing my contract now for Gas & Electric if there are any deals? I’m with British Gas.

    It's always good to be ready with your figures though.

    Do you know your kWh usage each year as then you can work out what the savings may be when fixes do appear.
  • Yes I’ve got our bills to hand so I’ll keep a note of these figures. Thank you.

    Two weeks tomorrow (May 26th) will see Ofgem's announcement of the price cap for the three months from July 1st. That will tell you what standard variable tariffs will drop to, and give you a benchmark for evaluating any fixes which might appear.
