Capped Confusion

gibby

Im looking for a capped deal but its going to be quite a hike

as an example - im paying 10.54 & 5.95 for electric but the nearest capped is
18.9 & 11.38 so its almost got to double to make me pay the same as the capped

gas is about the same.

My parents are in the same boat with another supplier & we have been looking to cap for over a month

crazy

i am with npower duel fuel .they have capped prices without a rise in the rates until april 09 for existing customers. also offer capped until 2011 for 7% increase in rates but i didn't want to risk that one.

When considering this also remember that a price rise is expected during the summer. Also remember that many of the fixed/capped rates do not have tiw in periods or penalty clauses so if prices come down you are still free to move.

ALWAYS check/ask for penalty clauses

I looked at Npower 2011 but the price per kwh or whatever it is was roughly 9p where I am only paying 4p at the moment!! So my gas bills would be doubled!! I have jumped on the eon price promise as it will only cost me about £20 a year more thankfully.

That 9p & 4p is only for the first units you use each year(called tier 1 or primary units) the rest(tier 2 or secondary units) will be much cheaper; and for most people the price of the secondary units is the more important factor.

OR

You could go to Ebico and pay 2.86p(including VAT) for ALL units.

For the first 1000 units or so it is a high rate then it goes down yes.

I have worked it all out. Its too expensive in our area.
