Recently been thinking about changing our gas/electricity suppliers but getting a bit confused.

We're currently with M&S and after plugging in our usage and current tarriff all the comparison sites were telling me to move to Scottish Power as they were cheaper. Just got the paperwork through though and its showing unit prices to be quite a lot more expensive on the new tarriff, which seems to be baffling me a little bit!

Any ideas why everywhere would be telling me one was cheaper when unit prices are actually more? Its the first time i've really looked into it so i took the advise of uswitch at face value which probably wasn't the best idea!
 
Cheers guys, just looking into this a little and it makes sense as M&S have a standing charge for gas which given our low annual usage (502 units) made our bill fairly astronomical compared to competitors with no standard charge.

Just pulling together a spreadsheet now, though finding individual companies unit prices is proving a bit tricky.
 
I'm an idiot!

Turns out i was using Gas Units instead of Gas KWh which is why it was coming up as such a saving. Turns out my switch will save me a lot less than expected but still a little bit :)
