Not worth me changing - is it ?


If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.

    If you are a low electricity user that's a large drop on the standing charge, so it could be.

    For electricity, it's 3p more per kWh but the standing charge is 17.51p per day less.  So if you use 6 kWh per day or more then you would be worse off.  If you use 5 kWh per day or less you would be better off.

    I seem to recall you have told us previously that you are a relatively low electricity user, so the new tariff there may be worth a look. Stick where you are on gas though.
