I moved to dual fuel from EDF some years ago, claiming to save me at least 25%. In fact my bills never really went down at all.
Biggest saving I made was getting a water meter put in. My combined water/sewage bill is £700 less than my neighbours

Lekkie is with Sainsbury's Energy. I'm sure there are cheaper but it's all smoke and mirrors. Like tigersaw, we saved £££ on getting a water meter - that's with 3 of us in the house.

try this website, might be useful, its really good for comparing different tarrifs.

www.uswitch.com

I've just switched to Scottish Power, not the cheapest but had best customer service rating and still cheaper than British Gas, who keep putting my monthly payments up even though I'm in credit by £60 grrhh...

Avoid British Gas at all costs, please believe me. They are completely incompetent and belligerent, they will rob you.

Regularly check suppliers for price, change about every 12 - 18 months. Changes have always been easy. Currently on a fixed price tariff with EDF Energy and collecting Nectar points with the Read, Reduce, Reward scheme. I had the prices fixed at an old rate which is now below the open market rate.

Changing suppliers can take up to 60 depending on how you hit the billing cycle

Changed to Sainsbury's for both over a year ago. Did a price comparison but can't beat them at the mo.
