I started a thread about gas and electricity suppliers, because I have just switched back to Eon from British Gas having checked out all the tariffs (though I think the particular tariff I went for may have been withdrawn now)

You have to bear in mind opening offers (eg Amazon vouchers or cash), length of contract and cancellation charges as well as the monthly direct debit.

By the way folks, under the direct debit scheme a company has to give you 10 days notice in writing if they intend to increase your direct debit. If they don't do that they are in breach of the rules and you should report them to Energywatch - the power industry watchdog and of course complain to the company themselves.

Mick Mac - thats WAY too much. Personally I don't rate NPower as had less than positive experience with them in the past.

    • That looks spectacular! I would be reluctant to share that if i was lucky enough to live there!
    • Is there any way of soundproofing a single glazed sash window? Would  polythene sheeting work? If I replaced the window, I would have triple glazing, but it's a small room used as an office  which I'm not in all that often, so  I really don't want to go to that expense.
    • You must have been very unlucky, they are usually very helpful. Didn't your GP advise you on what strength to get? Any issues with delivery from online orders pale into insignificance when compared with the advantages of not having to trek from shop to shop comparing availability and prices of what you want, and then having to find someone in each place who can tell you about it, and then hoping that they have given you the correct information! And then having to lug it all home, if it is heavy stuff. Assuming you were lucky enough to find what you wanted in the first place. Been there, done that for decades,  don't want to do it any more thanks  😀
