Switching Gas And Electric!

Hi!
I have switced once before and went to npower for both gas and electric! I now find my direct debits spiralling upwards and have gone to search on the search sites to see if anyone else is cheaper. I do find it confusing though! Do these sites include the things like the yearly annual discount that you get for dual fuel and direct debit??? If not then the small savings that some companies would seem to offer on these comaprison sites would be wiped out by my £80 year discount!
I must say, it would appear that moving to someone else isn't going to save me much if anything! Fuel must just be getting very very expensive!!:(
Cheers!
Phil

    Yes ... they include it whether it's a direct quarterly discount or, as some, where they rebate the equivalent of your monthly DD at the end of a full year. But you need to watch the latter (I think Atlantic still do that) ... as you don't get it if you switch away from them mid-year.
    If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !
