I am currently on the Octopus tracker tariff for both gas and electricity is it worth considering going onto a fixed contract with Octopus?

    The future is ahead of us - that's all I know.
    If in doubt... do nowt.
  • jazzy the 15mth fix on offer is almost on par with the latest tracker, it be worth considering the deal for gas and agile for electric if u cant shift times or the 15mths for both fuels

    Did you decide to stay on the tracker or switch to a fixed, I'm in the same boat. 
    Octopus 12m fixed saves me 7% with no exit fees

    Can you keep switching between tariffs? I signed up to the August v3 fix but don’t see an option in my account to switch again?

    Contact them ask to change to  Octopus 12M Fixed October 2024 v1 for either/both fuels.

    If you use the app then there is an option to compare fixes when you go into it, even though you are on a fix.

    I just can't work out the maths for whether a cheaper 12 month is better than a 15 month....
