New Flat: Best supplier to join with?

Purchaseruk

Hi,
Will be moving into a brand new 1 bed flat soon, was wondering currently which energy company is best price wise for me to join up with?
I have no idea what the current supplier is as I haven't yet got the keys or moved in, but since there is currently electricity working (& I'd assume the gas is running as well, due to testing it all for safety standards) I gather I'll have to call up somewhere to find out who the supplier is & go from there sorting it out?

Any suggestions would be appreciated, Cheers!

Yes puk....you will need to register with your existing supplier first and move later. BG and nPower and Powergen seem to get a lot of stick on these boards. Southern Electric part of Scottish and Southern seem to do well. Ebico is for low users.
A lot of flats don't have gas so check that out. Do you have figures for your present usage from where you live now. If not the national average is 20,000 kwh gas and over 3000 for electric. Ball park figures. Having a modern place will mean good insulation. Energyhelpline comparison site will give you an indication, but you need to feed in your present per annum kwh or there is provision for type of property, number of bedrooms etc.
£1000 per year for gas and electric total would be high for a flat, nearer £750. ...£400/500 would make you a low user.
If your flat faces the sun tis good, capture it during the day and lock it in at night. Ventilate when the heat loss is minimal.
