Thanks

    I dont think so as i was searching and if there had of been that would have swung it for me between ebico and atlantic
  • There's a train of thought that suggests trying to get as many switches in as possible during Summer/early Autumn months so as to maximise cashback, then switch to the cheapest supplier for the winter months (cashback or no cashback). Fanciful? Silly?

    Sorry, no bribes/cashback for switching to ebico – they don’t have the marketing budget.
    Because we’re a not-for-profit company, our focus is on maintaining the lowest prices for customers rather than spending a lot of money on advertising or paying commission to ‘switch’ companies (energy comparison services).

    Unless you are using significant amounts of energy, continually switching (for cashback) is probably the best way to go. With some companies paying as much as £60 to switch to them, you could be saving as much as £120 per quarter (£480 per year) if you push. - that's almost half the average annual consumption.
