Electricity Providers

I've been with Bulb for a few years now and I check, at least once a year to see if they're still competitive. Even allowing for their slight price increase, they're still cheaper than anyone else for this area, plus, this is the first time they've increased their prices, whilst the other big companies have increased theirs several times. As frugalpiggy says, their customer services are very helpful (even when I managed to mix up the gas/electricity meter readings!). Unlike the other energy providers, you're not tied into any contract either.

Sigh, am currently with Bulb, have been really happy with them, but their prices are going up considerably. Please see post of 16.36.

We are with bulb too. They are supposed to be ‘ green’.

Agree with previous posts, Bulb seem good, customer service and ease of understanding billing etc.

Like Callistemon, I've never had any calls from energy companies after I've used comparison sites. I use them a lot, as I sort out my mum's energy supply as well as my own.

To be honest, Phoenix, our telling you how much we are paying might not be very helpful, because a company's prices vary depending on where you live.

Be very wary about going for the cheapest you can find. I am speaking from experience. When you think you have found one worth changing to, search out some reviews, and even check out comments on their Facebook page if you can, to see if there are currently a lot of disgruntled customers, though these posts quickly get deleted, and even on the so-called independent review sites this can happen.

I would like to tell you the name of a 'cheap' company that I would avoid at all costs, but am not sure how I would stand legally if I was to name them on here.

We've been with Bulb for the past 18 months and I really like them. The phone gets picked up really quickly by someone I can understand! They are basically easy to do business with which scores well with me. Can't remember their unit costs as I'm willing to pay a little extra for good service. I manage my account through their app.

If you followed a link to a comparison site I suppose it could, phoenix, but I thought he would suggest best options.
I've never had a follow up call from a comparison site - is there a box you can tick to say yes or no?
Just make up a phone number!
(I'm not usually dishonest but sometimes needs must)

Chewbacca I'm currently with Bulb, and their prices are going up from 15.354 per kwh to 17.085, with the standing charge going from 20.085, to 20.387.

Callistemon would using that site result in phone calls from providers?

Sorry Callistemon, crossed posts

Hello Phoenix. Martin Lewis, the MoneySavingExpert, has recently launched on his site a new auto compare and switch tool for energy providers. It may be worth looking at.

According to "Which" Octopus are supposed to be good.

We produce so much hot air in our house debating this that we don't need heating.
