In our last house we cooked with electric, heated with gas. Our electricity was about £12-£14 a week and we were fairly profilgate, lights on when we were out, computer on at night, TV on standby, vampire plugs everywhere.

I've just moved to Avro, which for a 12 month fix is massively cheaper. Our SP tariff ends 31 May and their off is to renew at what are quite high rates.

Avro is 2.1525p for gas, 12.6p for electricity, inc VAT with comparable standing charges of >23p/day each. We were paying >3.5p and >15p with SP.

I used to find SP were reasonable if I switched tariffs regularly, which you can do online without penalty. That changed about 18 months ago. I only stuck with them because things got a bit messy with two addresses and the house fire and I foresaw an administrative cock up (correctly - it took me a while to get them to stop the standing charges on the derelict property).

I did check out Octopus but they were quite a bit dearer - still less than SP - for this area. I do not have a smart meter.

I suppose a smart meter will be obligatory when we build the new house which will open the possiblity of smart tariffs.
