Energy tarrifs

Much has been advertised,on switching energy supplier,to obtain a better deal.I have checked this at intervals since Jan 2016 and the most recent for December this year,was a saving of approx £197 per year,which is less than £4 pw.Is it worth it,no not really,plus the cost of a disconnection fee

I looked at this very recently as my Gas tariff was ending soon. The only ones which gave me much of a saving were little unknown companies so I chose to stay with my dual fuel provider for the next year. It all seems rather uncertain and thought I'd better stick to the devil I know nPower!

How does Tyjen know this or is she just repeating what somebody else has made a comment on. You need to be with a company for at least 12 months to establish whether this is a fact or not, by your own bills, never mind repeating gossip from the media.
Chinese whispers is a not reliable game to play.

Did you get out of bed the wrong side Archie? Im certainly not repeating what somebody else made a comment on! or am repeating gossip from the media, I do not play chinese whispers either!

I know from experience that electricity companies get you to change over to them with introductory offers then you end up paying more than your previous supplier because the new supplier has upped their prices.

I find that companies lure you in with their introductory offers then put the prices up!
