Thank you both very much for your replies, I live in Devon the electricity company used to be SWEB if that helps.

I've just worked out what it would cost you on Scottish Power "Pay In Advance" tariff.
Not sure what pay in advance means but it saves 5% and it works out at £1018.58 or £85/month. I'll check a couple of others to see if it's the best.
It might be better if you put your own readings on here because we had a colder winter this time so using those may be better.
Forgot to say that you also save by having both fuels with them.

Forget that. Just found out you have to pay a lump sum up front.
Will now try something else.

Scottish Power Premier Plus works out at £1072.43 and Ebico at £1100.62.
But Uswitch tells me that nPower are the cheapest using a Newton Abbot postcode and your figures at around £970

Thank you so much djohn for going to all that trouble for me:o it really is a minefield trying to find the best deal I think they make it so complicated deliberately for some obscure reason. I will get together the figures I have written down for the past year, as you say, it was a lot colder so probably I will have used quite a bit more. Thank you again

Djohn, I have the readings for last year, I am unsure how to convert the gas reading to kilowat hours so have just put my reading down in the hope that you will do the sums for me:beer:
Gas 1703
Elec 3886

Please could you the cheapest option based on these figure:o
Thank you so much

Before I can work out the gas consumption, I need to know if you have a Metric or Imperial gas meter. Here's a clip from my post on the first page of this thread.

To tell if your meter is imperial or metric. If it has dials it's imperial. If anywhere on the face it says Cubic Feet or Feet with a small 3 near the top of the t, again it's imperial. If it says Cubic Metres or M with a little 3 near the top it's metric. (I don't know how to write cubic metres on here).

Hello Djohn, The gas meter is Metric, sorry for not stating that.

So my gas usage in KH is: 18733?

I entered the figures into Uswitch and they come out at
EON @ £995
British Gas @ £1007
but they are online only. Atlantic is best normal account with an option to switch to online @ £1101

This link works tonight and shows the results I got but it may not work tomorrow.

Djohn Thank you very much for all your work. I will wait until I get my Staywarm renewal to see exactly just how much they are going to increase my bill. That will be in October.
