It’s the UK’s most established and largest energy supplier. But how do its deals match up with the rest of the market? We take a look at British Gas tariffs to find out.

Cheap British Gas tariffs

British Gas tariffs generally aren‘t as cheap as smaller, junior providers, such as Octopus and Bulb, but it’s competitively priced when compared to rival Big Six suppliers and offers a range of fixed price tariffs alongside its standard variable tariff (SVT), also known simply as a ‘standard tariff’.

As you’d expect its fixed price tariffs are generally cheaper than its SVTs and provide you with the security of knowing that your outgoings won’t go up until the fixed-price period ends.

You may also be able to trim your outgoings with British Gas by choosing a dual-fuel tariff or opting for an online-only deal.

British Gas fixed price deals and tariffs

British Gas’ standout fixed price energy tariffs are Complete Protection and HomeEnergy Fix. Both of which offer the chance to fix energy prices for 12 months and carry exit fees of £30 per fuel source at the time of writing

The key difference is that Complete Protection includes Home Electrical Cover, Plumbing and Drains covers and, perhaps most importantly, Central Heating Breakdown Cover.

British Gas Economy 7 and Economy 10 tariffs

Economy 7 is a tariff that allows you to benefit from cheaper rates depending on the time of day you heat your home.

In a nutshell, you’ll pay less per kWh for your energy for seven hours at night.

If you’ve got a British Gas-installed meter, the reduced-rate period runs from 12.30am-7.30am during winter months and 1.30am-8.30am during the summer.

Customers with meters that weren’t installed by British Gas generally get cheaper energy between 10pm and 9am.

At the time of writing, British Gas does not offer Economy 10 tariffs.

British Gas dual fuel tariffs

In line with other household-name suppliers British Gas offers dual fuel tariffs, whereby you receive a single bill for your gas and electricity and can make significant savings by sourcing all your energy from a single supplier.

Dual fuel options are available on a range of British Gas fixed-rate, online and standard tariffs.
