    Some questions:

    What tariff are you on with Home Energy and how does that compare with your previous BG one?

    Are you gas & electric or just electric?

    What is your annual usage in kwh per fuel?

    I confess to not having heard of Home Energy.

    When did you change suppliers?   Increase in DD may in part be due to a tariff change.

    £1400 is below average for a 3 bed semi gas heated; £2200 is above but may include an element of catch up.

    Home Energy advertise a Standard Dual Fuel of £147.10
