Hi all

i am with E ON. On a fixed until June this year. Currently pay overall for gas and elct. £1100 a year

i keep loooking each day at new tarriffs. They are going up and down a bit


One now is £12000. So bit more

do I wait closer to my end date or worth switching over to someone else?

thanks in advance

    Don’t base it on how much you are paying a year. Base it on your actual usage and the actual tariffs themselves - Standing charge and unit price. 
    You need to do some sums based on the power that you have actually used to decide if it’s worth moving or not, taking into account any exit fees.
    I think Martin has done some sort of Calculator on the main site to help people decide, although I’ve not actually looked at it.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Some guidance in section 6 on this page - not a calculator,  I only skim read the email. More about points to consider.

    look at octopus fix, its a zero exit fee if cheaper deals come along, and there prices (per kwh) imo are the best about
