I've just moved into a new house and it is currently serviced by nPower for both Gas and Electricity.

My last place was serviced by eOn.

I've called both to see what they can offer and have had the following info:

eOn
9% Discount if I get both fuels from them.
Fixed till 1st October 2009.

Gas - 4.352p per kw for the 1st 2680 Units / 2.774p thereafter
Electricity - 18.98p for the 1st 900 Units / 9.65p thereafter

nPower
£80 Discount per year if I have both fuels supplied by them

Fixed till March 2009

Gas - 6.044p per kw for the 1st 4572 Units / 2.090p (I think!) thereafter
Electricity - 14.28p for the 1st 720 Units / 11.98p thereafter

Or

Fixed till March 2011 (BASICALLY 7% More!)

Gas - 6.467p per kw for the 1st 4572 Units / 2.23p (I think!) thereafter
Electricity - 15.28p for the 1st 720 Units / 12.81p thereafter

Are these good deals? I think the 2011 one looks good! Is there anything else out there?
