Price comparison websites are not functioning as they once were. Most fixed tariffs are only being offered to existing customers under loyalty terms. Given that there is likely to be little difference in cost between a fixed and a variable tariff this coming Winter (based on known assumptions) then there is little point in switching unless you want to take a punt on Octopus’ smart tariffs which have never been listed on comparison websites. You could also look at Fuse Energy which says that it is offering the cheapest tariff on the market.xlnc99 said:I belive now is the time to switch from my variable tariff.

Thanks for your reply - i thought it was worth switching to Fixed Tariffs now?
I am on OCT Variable at the moment but ive seen cheaper fixed tarrifs with other companie0 -
Yes but most fixed tariffs now have an exit fee. Cornwall Insights is predicting a small fall in the Ofgem Cap in October with a small rise in January. If you want price certainty then go for a fix.xlnc99 said:Thanks for your reply - i thought it was worth switching to Fixed Tariffs now?

As someone wise here recently said.xlnc99 said:I am not going any notifications for some reason

Fixes are not intended to save money just provide certainty. That's where we are at the moment with many fixes not offering a massive discount but letting you sit back and know what energy will cost for the next 12 months.
