I've not paid for an electricity supply, in the UK, for 20 years so am clueless about this. There's an EDMI smart meter here, whatever that is. I had a quick look and 'Octopus' seemed OK but I don't want to sign up only for someone to 'You did what' There's two of us in a 2 bedroom double glazed detached house if that's relevant. Thanks to anyone ITK.
You can try here for cheapest. https://www.uswitch.com/gas-electricity/ The big companies are pretty shìt and dearest in my opinion. British gas i wouldn't touch with a bargepole and SSE have been pretty crap having to deal with them since my dad passed away .
Octopus have good write ups in 'Which' magazine mate and they must be fairly stable, as I have been transferred to them after the collapse of Avro Energy last month. Go for a fixed Tariff with little or no early redemption penalties, then when it comes up for renewal, look around again.
Don't go to a compare site. Not the best deals I've just switched to Shell Energy after researchng for best deals. Price fixed for 2 years as well https://www.shellenergy.co.uk/
This is all great lads. This'll be my first attempt at living in the real world so all really weird ... ... I can see why people, released from a life sentence, end up back inside
Ive been with Shell for a year or so, I was with Green Energy before that but I think they have just gone bust. Parents were with avro but got shifted to Octopus after avro bit the dust last week. I would put your monthly useage into a comparison site and see who they recommend as cheapest but it's not the ideal time to do it with all the uncertainty. Some aren't taking on new customers I think. Hope you get sorted.
If you use a comparison website, make sure you then check the chosen providers own website. Quite ofter there are cheaper deals direct with the company. A comparison site will show numerous providers, but will only show the deals they get commission on.
I would say I am pretty useless at this, never change because I can’t be arsed for the amount of money you save to the amount of grief you get doing it.
Yeah I have duel fuel Used British Gas for ever Never bothered changing they are cheap one year then dear the next It’s not worth the bother changing every year
Tried changing once about 20 yr ago electric £30 a month first DD went out £241 rang up got it sorted, this won’t happen again, next DD £ 241, rang up told them I’ve cancelled DD so send me a monthly bill, never swapped anything again not worth the hassle for a fiver a week.
It's called 'Opus' which, as far as I can see, is a business supplier. I suspect that's because this place was recently part of a working farm.
