Gas & electric from same supplier but on single fuel tariffs

Hi, we've recently moved into a new property supplied by British Gas and we get both gas and electricity from them, but they have told me that they are unable to merge the accounts, so that I can benefit from a dual fuel tariff. I'm not sure whether to just switch to another supplier, or if the issue would persist - has anyone else experienced anything similar please?
I don't think I can hang on til Friday...

    I've never heard of this issue before.  Switch to a better/cheaper supplier an hope for the best.
  • Duel fuel not always the cheapest option, and it certainly isn’t if you can benefit from any of the smart tariffs available.

    Did you ask for a reason?
