Have been very naughty

Izzycam

Hi, I have been very naughty and have had the same suppliers of gas and electric (seperately) for the last 4 years, As I watched Martin on his programme last week It has given me the kick up the proverbial backside to do something about it.
My gas is with Southern electric standard tariff 11.4p standing charge 2.8 per kw, and my electric is with Swalec 14.94 per day standing charge .9.17kw.
We have 4 bedrooms with 4 people living here and I guess we are medium to heavy users. If anyone could advise me who to go with this would be fantastic, should I et it capped or not. Thanking you kindly.......

Use a price comparison site such as www.uswitch.com to compare suppliers.

DO NOT then apply via the price comparison site, as THEY will get any commission!


DO then apply via GreasyPalm or similar - then YOU will get paid to switch - typically £50

Check out the paperless online tariffs they tend to be cheaper.

It depends where you live to a certain extent as well your consumption and method of paying(DD is cheapest)

As said above, the one-line paperless accounts are the cheapest. I believe they all insist on dual fuel - unless you have no gas supply.

If you don't want to have an on-line account, it is not always cheapest to have both gas and electricity from the same company; the dual fuel discount is not sufficient to compensate for a more expensive fuel in some cases.

Hi thanks, I live in south Wales and do pay by direct debit, I guess it's the only thing I'm doing right at the moment. Ha! Ha! What wold anyoe suggest about the capped rates as Martin seems to think all the utilities will be going up.kindest reguards

All capped rates ever offered have been a gamble, and the latest are exactly the same - a gamble.

Having said that - every capped rate in the past has paid off for those who took the gamble!!
