    Why doesn't Ebico appear on the comparison sites. When I entered my usage, Ebico didn't show.

    I've just done some simple maths, and on my consumption for March to June this year, I would see a saving of about £18 on Gas, but my electricity would cost me about £12 more with Ebico, so it's a question of swings and roundabouts. Are Ebico flexible with amounts of DD's because BG aren't!

    Ebico don't pay commissions, Hansi, or give discounts. This keeps the price low.

    I don't know as I pay my bills on receipt.

    Note, as Ebico do not offer any incentive for paying by DD, why not open a savings account and pay what you want into that on a monthly basis e.g. by standing order. That way you'll get to earn some interest too :beer:

    Good thinking that:beer: I'll give it some thought, it's just the leccy rate is a bit more than BG, but I suppose it will work out ok, bearing in mind that BG are holding my DD payments in their bank!

    They appear on all the ones listed on the top of the page.

    Though for dual fuel they probably don't come out the cheapest, but if you go for single fuel or click on to check whether it's cheaper to have energy from 2 companies (as it had been for some time) you should find for gas they come at the top or very near.
