Well, I've worked out I can save a minimum of £200 over Jan, Feb and March with night time usage at UW's 10.9p vs EDF's 16.2p and then add another £100 if we have a prolonged cold spell. Still mulling it over but seems like a good deal to me and then switch back to a more reliable one in April for the better day rate. Plus, I've just had my EDF bill today and I'm £600+ in credit which I'll get back after my final bill.

That requires two services but I would only ever consider my electric with them

Ah gotcha

Wondered if there was a cheap second service you can cancel or maybe they have that watertight

The joiner also has to be an owner occupier, which will rule out a lot of people.

The problem I had with UW pestering me to take other services with them was that, like a lot of people, I'm locked into fixed periods for other services, so can't switch easily without incurring penalties.  I would imagine the same is true for quite a few people, as insurance tends to be for 12 months at a time, as do contracts for broadband etc.  Unless the timing's happen to match it would be pretty costly in early termination fees etc to switch other stuff to UW.

The reverse might well also be a problem if switching away from UW when you have other services from them.

What is their favoured method of pestering to take other services? Email or telephone? Not too fussed about email but I will not tolerate phone calls.

Both.  I had several calls from them, as well as emails.  To their credit the calls did stop when I told them that I had not opted in to receive marketing calls from them (they automatically assume you want these until you specifically tell them to stop).

Thanks, having read some horrendous reviews of UW I might just go with EON and save £100 + £50 one off referral instead. I'm not sure the extra £50 is worth the hassle as I do get quite frustrated when things go wrong with my utilities.

You are not alone!  In my view there is significant value to me in not having hassle with any supplier.  Not sure how much that is worth, but paying £50 more than the absolute cheapest option seems to be reasonable if that means less frustration with the supplier overall.
