Before I make the energy supplier switch I would like to hear other people comments and experiences.
Am I one of the few people who has not switched away from the British Gas and their local supplier of electricity (at or time or another)? Additionally, why do people appear to be switching back to British Gas (according to their TV adds) are there problems with the other suppliers?
I understand the reasons for price increases due the whole sale price, but there does seem a price gap across all the providers, and the 14% rise by British Gas (forth this year) has now pushed me over the top.
When I looked on the British Gas site today I saw the following
? Now you can freeze your energy prices until April 2010. And, unlike most of our competitors, if you are an average dual fuel customer, there's no extra cost for the privilege.
Freeze your energy prices with British Gas and:
we guarantee your prices will not rise above our new rates until 2010 you may not pay any extra if you freeze both your gas and electricity you'll be getting a first - we're the first energy supplier to offer this
There's no need to miss out
If you only get your gas from us, you can still enjoy the reassurance of freezing the price for a small premium of 2.8%. And if we only supply your electricity, we'll actually give you a discount of 4.8% for freezing your price until April 2010. And should you change your mind, you can un-freeze again at any time for a variable cancellation charge. ?
This has now made my mind up, either I have to move my electricity to British gas or move every thing away.
Looking on uwitch.com Scottish Power looks good for both price and importantly service.
What experiences have people had with different suppliers and switching?
Thanks Andrew
