Does anyone know where I can get a contract for gas without the standing charge, we are with British gas and they have tripled the standing charge and we only really use the heating 3 months of the year.

They are taking the P out of us with electric as well but all the comparison sites actually want to phone you and waste an hour of your time, just looking for a reasonable deal.

Thanks for any help

Standing charges are a pain, but even with low SC’s they will just recover it with higher unit rates.

Basically they will ask your annual useage and slice it up with standing charges / unit rates. Don’t get hung up on one or the other, work out the overall cost.
