My Energy contract is coming to an end shortly and I have been perusing some more Energy deals. Some companies I have never heard of ...example ' Bulb ' and ' '  Isupply ' to name a couple. I wondered if anyone had experience with these little known companies as they are the ones giving the  most saving tariffs?

You could do it on a sheet of paper with a calculator in about 10 minutes......pretty good pay, a hundred or more pounds for 10 minutes......

It does surprise me that some people will spend time tramping around a supermarket to save 5p on a tin of beans, but won't spend a similar amount of time to save hundreds of pounds on their energy bills, insurances etc.

Ah well, each to their own, I suppose......

Yesterday I received a reminder from E E that my contract was about to expire.

The main point that we all need to remember is not to ignore it but to change to the cheapest tariff even if you don’t change suppliers. There is always a tariff available, cheaper than the standard one that starts when your old one expires. A couple of minutes online or negotiate by phone can save £££s over the year.Smile

The most difficult part is finding the tariffs. The companies have a habit of making these difficult to find on their web sites.

Indeed, Vic Smile

I would add that, if a company tries to hide away its prices, they are probably expensive, so look elsewhere.

There are plenty to chose from....

Precisely.  All I want to know is the price per kWh and the standing charge for each tariff (along with any benefits/restrictions).

It always seems to be assumed that the 'great British public' have zero skills when it comes to elementary mathematics. Maybe this is true?

Anyway, ..... anyone else on British Gas's 'free electricity on Saturday (or Sunday)' tariff?  What are your thoughts?
