Switching energy companies...any to avoid? Any recommendations...

[Sally81]

Sorry, bit of a bore me, snore me post but...

I'm thinking of switching energy companies but wary of ending up with one that are a pain in the you-know-what to deal with.

I'm currently with British Gas, I don't find their customer service too bad but reckon I can save a lot by switching...there's loads out there though offering better rates.

Npower are said to be avoided at all costs.....any others, does anyone know? Or anyone had good experiences they can share? people generally only to take the net to write bad reviews.

Cheers!

I'm with Ovo at the moment (no I'd never heard of then either) but they came out best value when I was looking. They even pay interest on credit balances. Better than the banks.

It is my understanding that scottish gas own the hardware (pipe etc.) and therefore their prices are the best.

I have switched with them and found that to be case.....and when I have to call them someone actually answers.....good enough for me.

The money saving expert website has some great advice on energy switching.
