is this still a good company to switch to?

I use them, have had a good experience with them.

Meters read on the 24th November bill arrived today.

Even with the price rise in october. A bill that covered 95 days electric £49.61 (362 units)and for the same period of gas £15.78(42 units)

I have just had this quarter`s bill from ebico and have worked out the actual saving I will make by transferring to BG click 6, electricity only. I have included the dd allowance. My saving on this one bill will be £15

My transfer will take place on 23rd dec

I am really over the moon as our total gas plus electricity bill this quarter is £91.11. This is really good for 2 of us in a 3 bed townhouse all day and I can only put it down to the remoska and the ecocamel, as well as the low energy (expensive) biobulbs which I have had for 3 years now. We are warm and cosy and I cook and bake every single day so no discomfort at all

When I did a comparison just last week, any other company will cost me over £200 per year more for dual fuel, but if I switched just my leccy I can save a massive £9 per year, not worth my effort just to get £9 and confusing bills

So I am sticking with Ebico

I have just been viewing my bills onlineand it would seem that I amnot going through Ebico anymore.
my bills would say Equipower but it says Southern Electric instead now I think its because I went onto the care package, this is my bill for 6 months, which isn't that bad actually,

I pay £37 a month DD which compensates for the winter months.
so I should have £222.00 for my next bill.

and my gas was.

We owe you £51.63 which we will carry forward to your next statement.

I pay £22 amonth via DD,
so by the time my other bill is due on 1st February I will have paid in £132.00
then add the £51.63 that they have from last time comes to £183.63 towards my next bill so hopefully no surprises for me in the new year.

if anyone knows anywhere cheaper for me, let me know, thanks.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Good figures, Ice, best I've seen.
For the Aprl 1 to 1 Aug period equates to 8.50pence electric and 2.29pence for gas.
As against (for Norfolk) 13.75pence electric and 3.77 for gas Ebico.
Merry Christmas.

I assume you are on pre-pay meters? and your meters are not set to pay back debt?

Firstly if you are using £65 a week on gas, that is 1,724kWh a week - which is absolutely huge for any house - let alone a end terrace.

You really need to get someone in to look at your insulation.

Secondly you should not be with Ebico for electricity with that sort of consumption(£30 a week is over 200 kWh) Ebico is very expensive for electricity unless you are a very low user(gas is better - but not the best).

You really need to cut back on your electricity consumption as you are using 3 times the national average.

No matter who you are with, your costs will be huge with that sort of consumption.
