Dear Ladies, I hope you are enjoying (the kind of) Spring.
I did not find this in the topics, so my questions are:
1)What is most economic option: pay electricity & gas bills by credit, or home meter?I read that with home meter you can control but credit has more promotions.
2)is is good option to a flat fee 100£ (both electricty n gas).?is a really small flat...
3)any good company to recommend ?They are many and Im a bit lost.
Big thank you
Maria

A credit meter with a contract for both gas and electric, particularly paid by direct debit on a term contract is cheapest. A two or four year contract is best.
If you have a top up meter it is next cheapest but can be an inconvenience to top up.
Do not have a variable rate just pay bill when received. It's the most expensive.

If you are in a flat check the serial.nimver on your meter matches that on your bill. Don't pay for someone else's use!

If you have moved into a new place check you are not paying the previous tenants bill!

If you have two rate or night storage check you operate them at the cheapest rates - YouTube videos are good for this.
