I'm with octopus flexible tariff for gas and electric . Price comparison sites tell me it's not the cheapest but I've never quite understood how to decide who to switch to. Because, even if one is cheapest today, how to know who will be cheapest tomorrow, next month or next year? Would be annoying to swap, only to find next month octopus became the cheapest

So, as per title, are any providers a safe bet to know I'll be consistently getting amongst the cheapest rate?

Any guidance on how to choose the cheapest energy provider gratefully received, thank you

Eon currently do the electric smets 2.

The Fuse fitter has fitted the gas meter unit only but done no Comms works at all.

What do fuse need to do in terms of connection. IE can they connect via the eon hub built into the elec meter or do they need to run there own Comms unit off the fuse board.

Thanks

update found the gas connected to hub next day.....all done remotely.

Old 1970s boiler & provides my elderly parents property underfloor heating. Fuse fitter was totally unfamiliar with boiler and left advising the pilot light was working albeit we discovered later that the boiler does not fire up.

Fuse are saying that the boiler is not their responsibility and to contact a private heating engineer.

Am back over at parents tomorrow and was wondering how best to proceed.

Currently with OVO energy and got nowhere with either reducing monthly payment or refunding over£1000 credit- bill is currently £300 a month. Decided to make switch to EDF fixed tariff £210 per month, this was on 29th Sept before tariff change on Oct 1st. Just got email from gocompare to say that the switch was cancelled and as its Saturday afternoon of course you cannot speak to anyone and none of the previously lower tariffs are available. Does this seem somewhat shady to anyone else?
