Changing energy supplier

[Karcheer]

We are on a standard rate with our current supplier.

Just used the calculator on mse and by changing I could save a third of what I'm paying but the supplier although well known has a rating of 76% poor.
The next best is £300 less of a saving, not a brand I know but 62% great rating.

Thoughts on who I should go with?

Thank you.

The cheapest supplier for you depends on various factors including your postcode. Generally speaking the cheapest will be a dual fuel tariff, online account, paid by monthly direct debit. Most suppliers offer a fixed rate tariff where they guarantee unit prices for a certain length of time, can be a good idea as you are protect from price rises in that period but unit price wouldn't be the cheapest initially. You can also get tarriffs where a certain percentage goes to charity or green energy initiatives if you are so inclined. From a customer service point of view, I have personally had terrible experiences with NPower but really like E-On. I used to work for an energy supplier (neither of the ones I mentioned above), it was exceedingly dull but has at least left me quite clued up about our bills

If you are on a standard tariff you are overpaying, but do check those savings with a calculator. Otherwise they are all the same and at least a big supplier might compensate you if they do mess up the bills.

For an extra £300 saving I'd risk it.

If you set up a new account with accurate meter readings what's the worst they can do?.

You only have to stay 10.5 months if you're on a fixed rate tariff anyway. They let you switch 49 days before its up without penalties.

I think once you do this to make the most you need to be changing each time
a deal comes to an end A bit tedious I mean these companies know what people are
up to BUT according to Which MOST people are paying too much.
