Presume they don't bother with comparison sites? also they don't seem to do dual fuel.

You have to tick the 'show all providers' box, otherwise comparison sites only show the suppliers that provide kickbacks.

It's often cheaper to go to separate suppliers, rather than dual fuel.

Theo

Its not just the unit rate but also any daily standing charge

My rate Daily standing charge = 16.8p Unit rate = 13.65p

They never show-up on the Martyn Lewis site, which is quite open about who gives them kickbacks

And/or the comparision site can initiate the switch for you. Which may or may not mean the comparison site gets a kickback.

When I was looking to switch the in law the other month gas only suppliers seemed a bit thin on the ground. Also with dual fuel tariffs I looked at the electricity price from a agiven supplier for electricity only or dual fuel was the same.

Lecky only Utilty Point inc VAT:

Might be worth the OP looking at Bulb and using my "refer a friend" link:

There are vast differences of course... At first sight EDF might seem expensive, but..

Basically, in the Summer I lose due to the high cost of day units, but the cheap night units during the winter gains me a lot as I am single fuel.

I'm sure they deliberately all make the tariffs so complex as to make it impossible to compare like with like. The other constraint I have is that many companies SAY they will do plain text email billing and really send a reader out to read it foor the blind but fail miserably, while EDF do seem to do as they say they will.

After all, All the electricity comes from the same generators down the same wires, so its the admin and of course profit you pay for. I do feel some only pay lip service to being disabled friendly as their admin is so poorly funded. Brian

I've been very happy with Bulb and have been resisting posting a referral link for them, but someone else has done it so here's mine:

What are the hours, can they change them when they feel like it?

Payday!

Sorry I blinked first. B-)

Hum, that really is starting to make finding the "best deal" rather more complicated. You need to know your useage profile in relation to when those rates apply, which gets even more complicated if the time periods for each rate vary.

Have you been happy with Symbio as a supplier? They do look quite cheap and my contract is due for renewal, so thank you for the info.

Switch hasn't fully gone through yet, so not enough experience to comment at present.

The periods are fixed (see my other reply).
