Gas and Electricity prices

[matchless]

We are still with British Gas for both our gas and electric, we have just been looking at the u switch website and can save a staggering £220 a Year! by switching to Atlantic Electricity and Gas
has anyone had any experience good or bad of this supplier?

thanks

We are in the house, basically 24/7 as we run the business from home so have fuel bills like Gary Glitter paying off child victims.

USWITCH suggested savings of £674 a year for me because some companies offer a 2 tier system for large domestic users and for taking the dual fuel direct debit options. If it's only half right that'll do for me. I did look at the green options; £94 more.

I'm with Atlantic and to be honest I was very pleased the switch was painless and you got to speak to a human from the UK in about the time it takes to listen to Powergens prerecorded stuff before you start waiting.

So a thumbs u from me. Infact I'm thinking of changing the business to them

As long as you're sure AE&G aren't about to raise their prices and / or the USwitch website wasn't comparing the new British Gas prices with the old pre-rise prices of AE&G.

Good point. I looked on the site ( and others via moneysavingexpert.com )to switch suppliers for my place that's all electric. British Gas Online kept coming up as the best for me on Economy 7. Having worked out how many kWh I'm using and the day/night split,under the current tarif I can save around 25% on a £350 a year leccy bill.Not bad for 10 mins work and all done online.

Has anyone capped their prices yet with british gas?

I get both electricity and gas from them at the moment, after a very bad experience with powergen i really don't want all the hassle of moving again.

www.house.co.uk has the details of capping their prices till 09.

I'm tempted to buy a wood stove for the back room and just go around scrounging for bits of wood, drying them under the house (nice and breezy). I've already got a coal fire in the front room

My dad had one fitted a while back mind you I was thinking he might have gone a bit ott on the amount of wood he got

Without wanting to kick off another climate change debate, has anyone here switched to a "renewables" tariff? I'm toying with either nPower Juice or RSPC Energy and wondered if anyone had any experience?

No experience yet but I have just used uswitch to iniate the transfer from British Gas AE&G myself so I guess I'll find out soon enough. An estimated saving of 25-30% is not to be sneezed at.
