switching energy supplier
Discussion
Moved into my house just over a month ago. BG have sent us a bill with an estimate way over our actual usage. This isn't an issue as we can just give them accurate figures.
We are on their standard tariff but want to look to move supplier. Thing is, we only have 1 months usage, and this is unlikely to be indicative of our annual usage. As a result any figures that I may put into a switching site may be under / maybe over what we use, and the risk there is that should we choose a new supplier, that they will end up costing more than another one based on a longer term sample of usage.
How have others gotten around this issue? Do you over estimate your usage? To give an example, we have used 9 units of gas (we haven't used the CH much, but we do have a gas hob and oven, which we use maybe 4 days a week on average up to now) and have used 180 units of electricity. This is from May 19th or June 22nd.
Thanks.
