Just looking through all my direct debits and seeing where i can save money on some, like car insurance/phone etc...etc......
Currently i pay £130/month to N power for my gas and electric, i changed not that long ago, but thinking of doing it again, not sure if this is a competitive price or not??? Just for me & the Mrs, 2 bed semi detatched.

Fookin hell Rog.
I know it's been cold up home ( I was there in December ) but that's harsh.
PM me if you want advice on a better deal. I work for a leccy company.

and no it ain't them.

Zetecfiesta

you cant say its harsh without getting further information! do you have a debt on the account from a previous quarter or year that you are still clearing off? have you been recieving estimated or accurate bills every quarter? if its accurate how much does it state your usage is for that period of time? got to look at your yearly usage as well for both fuels to see if your d/d is set at the right amount and finally how many payments have you made on your current scheme? you could be due a reassment which means you could be about to pay less or it may have just been done and thats the right amount!

also people and houseside only have so much effect ive seen some massive houses with tiny bills and tiny houses with massive bills, its completley down to the way property is set up, also in regards to price the likely saving between the energy companies is really only 20-30quid!

best get on a comparison site, i used u switch and entered the exact usage for a years worth of bills with n power last night , and come back that i could save over £300 quid switching,

cheapest was EDF but feedback wasn`t great, so opted for atlantic as had the best overall rating and was about £10 difference from EDF

Thanks for the responses.
Don't have debt in the account, just pay a flat £130 a month DD, this has been adjusted by meter reading and previous bills.

i think it's something like £35 for electric and about £50 for gas, but they even out during the winter/summer so i'm fairly even throughout the year

Another energy debate! LOL.

Well, of all the replies so far, we're virtually at the top of the tree. I read our meter on the 27th December and again on the 16th January and we used over £70 worth of Gas in that time. Take into account that we have a wood burner too and only the hob is Gas, the oven is Electric.

In actual fact, we are using less Gas this year than last year by volume, its the cost thats higher, but I am still disturbed by it. Our aim for the Spring/Summer is to improve our loft insulation as I know its inadequate, I just hope thats the answer. There is about 100mm up there, but its patchy. I plan to roll out another 170mm over the top of that.

We are also in the process of changing suppliers, I must look at the rates, the biatch sorted that on U-Switch.

tabetha

I know exactly how much I use as we are on a meter, after gf's doggies was ill and needed keeping warm we had £900 electric for 3 months!!
Now paying this off on metre, takes £6 of every £10 credited, we use average £26.13 every 4 weeks electric, and gas is £66.87 over last four weeks.
I just make a note each credit and how much left, prior to the winter around £38 every 4 weeks in gas.

Yes, I did wonder that??

Rod-Tarry

Last year paid £168 month for both & they have recently re-estimated at £145 month
which is silly low & will go back to previous level im sure but it was done to stop me leaving. .
Ive change several times but none have kept their promise to cut prices, sure you can pay less for a bit but you will just run up a bill, been there done that & am doing it again im sure .
