Seeing as the moneysaving chap, martin lewis, has just saved me money this morning i thought i'd make the effort to register and post here in appreciation and as thanks.
He was urging people on gmtv this morning to get one of the three last cheap capped energy price deals available- post edf price rise of 20 percent last week. He said they will probably be pulled today or tomorrow. Well i normally don't bother and think ah i'll do it later but got up and checked uswitch, energyshop and moneysupermarket and it has just saved me money.
Current annual bill with edf for electricity =£703 BEFORE the price rise so now this will be more.
add to that the expected increases again of a similar 20 percent by the end of
year. getting expensive now.
Within an hour of the gmtv show i have switched to EON and the same usage will now cost me £545 per annum!
and......that is capped until end of 2009! so although they will probably increase their rates very soon as per edf, and probably increase rates by end of year also- it will now not affect me.You normally pay more for a cap but switching means i am paying substantially less!
Also only a 28 day contract so good if i want to cancel, and tesco points are accumulated, which is where i shop.
I can't see any downsides. eon have probably got their critics but in my experience all companies have!
Thanks martin lewis.
ps. I'm an aircraft engineer before someone thinks i 'm affiliated to EON!
