Can anybody help?

Hi everybody, I have a gas supply with meter inside my house. In view of recent energy price increases and the appliances I have I think I may be better off with just electricity. Can I juat send my supplier a final reading and turn it off or do I have to have it capped off and would I have to pay for this?

Any good advice welcome:D

    How are you currently heating your house?

    If you switch from heating with mains gas to heating with electricity it is difficult to believe you could save money. Probably quite the opposite. Are you thinking of storage heaters on Economy 7?

    Yes, economy 7 is an option. This house is mid-terraced and very well insulated

    Hi Tik...keep the gas and economise on the electric.
    Being mid terrace and well insulated means you are probably a low user and ideal for Ebico.
    You mention 'meter in the house', does this concern you?
