Please help me with Gas/ Electricity tariff-pics attached

[hotmailgmailoutlook]

Hi,
Currently with Eon and paying £220pm for both Gas and Electric. I am not on fixed tariff. I have attached the pics of my usage (meter readings) and current tariff unit prices details.
Please help me if i can save money.

It's your annual usage that would be more helpful. I'm not sure there are many fixed tariffs about that would save money. Have you tried a price comparison site?

I have estimate annual usage in ££ but no annual usage has mentioned in the statement. where I can find this information?

4 bed house- use tumble dryer all the time as with three children, makes my life easier. Dishwasher cycle every day and on weekends twice a day.My appliances are A+++ rating.
Currently in £157 credit. which will be wiped out this month as heating usage was high this month.

I haven't tried a comparison site yet.

That looks pretty cheap to me.. Im paying around that. 3 bed, kids have moved out but we do use a fair amount of Elec as busy lifestyles..

we moved two years ago in this house and there were no fixed tariffs available at that time. Previously was paying £99 for same sort of usage in 4 bed house on fixed tariff. I have lost track of energy usage etc - I understand prices have gone considerably up in the last two years.
Just wanted to make sure that I'm not brushing this under carpet where I can save money.

@myfavouritecolourisnotpink That's interesting.

Does it tell you your annual usage in kwh on a bill maybe? That's where mine shows. It's on the page with the actual calculations on my bills rather than on the 1st page.

Our council does a thing called uswitch where they get loads of people to sign up and do a bulk deal to get the best price with energy suppliers. Best deal wins and then you can choose whether to switch or not.. I did this a couple of years ago and saved a lot... Recently the council hasn't been able to find a better deal though so I have stayed..
I know I could save money if we were less 'frivolous' with our usage

@dementedpixie I have located the information. pics attached

If you mean save money by being on a lower tariff any comparison site will tell you what's available

If by cutting your usage it's much more straightforward, just turn stuff off that you aren't using and be more efficient with what you do need to use eg the cheapest washing machine cycle, don't do part loads, cook more than one thing at once in the oven etc, I'm sure you don't need to be told the basics

Martin Lewis currently advising not to fix till March.

I don't think there are lower fixed tariffs than variables right now.

Cutting usage is about the only way to cut cost - at the moment.

We are strict about switching off lights etc and run full loads of dishwasher, washing machine etc.
@OneMoreTime23 That makes sense as it will be cheaper to fix. I didn't think about this

I'm on the same tariff with Eon as you, OP. I did read that it's the cheapest one atm as it's lower than the standard variable rate.

I think all you can do is lower your usage where you can and hang on until March.

As other pps have said try a price comparison site but do work with your annual usage as that will give you a better idea of what you actually spend on gas and electric.
I have to say that your daily charges are higher than mine but then I signed up to a new deal with Octopus last September so they won't change for me. If you have close family on Octopus or other utility company you and they may get a welcome/recommendation bonus of £50 each as well as a better rate.
If you can - watch Martin Lewis' latest TV programmes (both in the last few weeks) - he gave a very good explanation on Energy Bills and how to save. We have signed up to save energy with Octopus when they are paying people to cut their usage. Not huge amounts of money but it all helps and leads to quite cosy when DH and I are sat with Kindles on in the dark wrapped up in a warm blanket for an hour and actually very soothing and restful.

I would hang on for now. Prices are set to come down 14% in April and likely to fall again in July.

Your prices are exactly the same as our British Gas which is their standard variable tariff. As a previous poster has said there is an expectation that prices will drop in April so there may be a better fix option appear then

Given what you're using, which is a pretty heavy usage, £220 seems like a not extortionate tariff to me. I don't use a tumble dryer, don't have kids at home so much less washing and dishwashing etc and my bills are around £90 a month.
As others have said, it probably isn't the best time to fix. You will probably need to look at reducing your usage if you want to bring your bills down - could you look at things like a heated drying rack to reduce tumble drier usage? They really do devour electricity.

Looks about average if not slightly below for house size and usage. We’re in a 3 bed detached and paying nearly the same , we were paying £80 a month 2 years ago.

I agree with @Rainbow1901 , definitely work popping your figures into octopus to see if you could save…takes 2 minutes and you could get £50 account credit if you use the link below. They also have saver sessions which you can get money back through points.

if you are going to look at comparison sites go to them via Quidco or topcash back, as they will give you money back if you switch. Topcashback are offering £44 for a dual fuel switch. It’s less than switching to Octopus, but worth looking at if you don’t want to switch to them. If you do switch to Octopus, you get £50 if you refer someone who joins them, and they get £50 for switching, so if you get a few people to switch there could be a few hundred there.

Energy prices are forecast to drop 16% from April, so that would bring down your monthly £220 cost by just over £35.

We are with Octopus, on their tracker tariff, been on it since July last year, and so far we have saved around 35% compared to the standard rates, which works out to around £1000, as we are heavy energy users in a very cold, hard to heat house. The tariff is not for everyone, especially if you want certainty over what you pay, but it’s worked out well for us.
