I have a fixed amount of direct debits every month and to be honest I never really pay much attention to them.

However, a chap from nPower came knocking on the door the other day just as I was sucking spag bowl up my nostrils.

I don't normally have time to listen to door to door people but I listened whilst cleaning up the tomateo stuff from my face... He aked me what I spend on the said costs. "I've no idea"... So I checked and nearly got a shock that would have beefed up the bill.

£55 pm on Electric and £75 pm on Gas.

LEANNE TURN THAT BLOODY HAIRDRIER OFF!!

This is with Eastern Elec... and he said he could knock 15% off plus an annual bonus all fixed for 4 years.

Sounds like a good deal go for it.

Turns out according to Uswitch it is..

The Moral.. well apart from that it does pay to shop around there is none..

I have enough money now to buy cordless drill and a rather large hammer!

What's your leccy / gassy bill?

Have you changed recently?

Who is your current supplier?

Do you go to bed with a teddy (not Teddy Sherringham)?

lol, that used to be my job, before going into IT..

we were trained for hours and hours every day how to make people *need* npower!

I haven't a clue how much our bills are.. I should check when I get in..
 
i deal with about 100 of our properties electricity bills (no gas here though)

worst we had was an under-estimated bill for 3 years.. came to £39,000 or something
 
3 bed detached. Gas central heating & hot Water on for 3hrs in morning and 5.5hrs at night during sept-may and then pretty much just mornings for summer months. Electric is just for normal consumer goods in house. £35 per month for Gas and £30 per month for electric. Usually get a small amount back each year from the utilities company which is edf-energy i think. The problem you've got now is that although only a small possibility if prices go down you are going to be stuck on a higher tarriff (if i read your details correctly about being on a fixed tarriff)

Had nPower round a few times, but wont give them the time of day after a bad episode with them a few years back where i refused to sign up on the doorstep to one of their sellers but lo and behold a month later i got a letter through saying thanks for choosing nPower for both gas and electric!! Took nearly 3 months and much-o hassle to get it all sorted out and back to the original supplier.
 
Just used Uswitch to switch from scottish power to e-on

Dual fuel bill has gone from £63 pcm to £51 pcm


I absolutely refuse to buy anything from anyone who turns up at my door though
 
It is all swings and roundabouts to be honest - however I do agree that you should shop around.
We've been with Scottish for both Electricity & Gas since we moved into our house three years ago.
A couple of months ago I shopped around and spoke to a couple of other suppliers and neither of them could really do better than we were already paying.

It's like car insurance really - there is no "right company" rather there is a "right company for you".
 
NI Electric here

Bill is around £300 every 3 months

Mainly because there does be at least 2 loads of washing a day etc.
