Tell me about switching gas and electricity suppliers, did you do it, was it easy, is any supplier particularly crap? TIA

Thinking of switching, uswitch has just showed me Npower will be much cheaper than British Gas. But I seem to think I've read awful stuff about them. Any advice? Thanks

If you pay by direct debit monthly I'd advise you switch in the summer.. I didn't and got a whacking great (IIRC £600!!) final bill from British gas I had to pay (if you switch in the summer due to less usage the money will have caught up IYKWIM)

hth

Use anyone apart from EDF Energy - they are absolutely rubbish! Switching is very easy though.

I agree, avoid EDF like the plague.

Thanks, have switched both to npower and apparently it will save £30 a month

i switched to scottish power they are lovely

We switched from Powergen who were useless (kept sending stroppy letters asking us to pays bills we'd paid yonks before and on time) to npower. Very easy. No problems so far, and slightly cheaper for us.

strangely we have recently switched from npower to british gas!!! They are cheaper for us by a whacking £40 per mointh!

we are with powergen and would like to change - we can't yet though as, due to our direct debits being wrong, we now owe them 300 quid. We can't pay it in one go, so we have to wait.
my dad just signed up with Sainburys energy which turns out to be EDF - oops! are they reallly bad then?

I've recently switched to Octopus energy and would really recommend them - has been really smooth so far - they did handled the whole switch for me and they are very competitive in terms of price.

And I did a bit of searching and found a £50 off link which was a huge bonus so if you want to sign up then use the link below for a discount:

I have never had issues with EDF
