If it is coming round to that time of year when you are thinking of changing your gas and electricity supplier then you will need to have a good poke around to find the cheapest deals for utilities.
Getting online and using a price comparison site is one of the best ways to identify the range of options available to you and also sourcing the cheapest gas and electricity on the market at any given time. As a word of caution, price comparison sites sometimes quote average prices for nationwide energy, which can skew the results of which supplier is the cheapest.
The key here is that average prices are a useless guideline when it comes to deciding who should supply your gas and electricity. Right now, the cheapest energy supplier of the “big six” in Britain is E.ON UK, as an average house, using the average amount of gas and electricity at the average tariff price comes out at £981.12.
The reality though is that E.ON cannot provide the cheapest utilities for everyone in the UK, regardless of what their advertising might suggest. Energy supply works in regions, as the UK is split into multiple areas which each have their own energy tariffs and regulations.
In this case, working from the average gas and electricity prices will only serve to mislead and confuse. Prices are likely to vary depending on where you live, so doing your research thoroughly to find the best prices in your region is a smart move.
Two relatively unknown utility suppliers who are coming out well in price comparison sites at the moment are First Utility and Ovo Energy who both undercut the competition on average bill costs in the UK. However, E.ON’s FixOnline V3 tariff is still cheaper for many users depending on where they are in the country.
It’s also worth bearing in mind that energy tariffs will fluctuate depending on how much gas and electricity you use. To that end, it’s important to know exactly how much energy you use annually when you come to find quotes online, as estimates may give you distinctly inaccurate information.
