Switching to bulb energy

[twinhunters]

Anyone with any information on bulb , thinking of switching from British gas . Not sure about variable rates

i have noticed the difference now with British gas huge increase also looking for a new provider

Let me recommend Ecotricity -- not because it's cheap (I don't know whether it is or not) but because it is eco and people friendly. Well run and personable.

I am with bulb and think they are great. Never need to wait long on a phone line. I am pretty organised at giving them a reading every month. The app is easy to use. My bills are tiny bit cheaper than when I was with bg and I was on the special money saving expert/Martin Lewis bulk deal with them. We both get money off if you use a friend?s link. Here is mine https://bulb.co.uk/refer/giacomelli (bit cheeky but hey you asked!)

I?m with Bulb and am happy with them. They use electricity from renewable sources. It?s very easy to switch and you can provide monthly reading.

Thank you everyone, no exit fee so going to give it ago , been with British gas a long time and price has gone up so much.

I use a service called Flipper, they move me automatically when I can save money. It costs ?50 a year but they'll only charge you if they save you more than ?100. They've moved me twice in the last two and a half years and I've been very impressed with the service.

Thinking it was bad move , just had first bill and although my gas stayed roughly what I expected

My electric for a month is ?241.66 that's my normal for 3 months , readings correct , but I know something is wrong can't contact them until Monday . Does anyone know if smart meter fitted by British gas should still be accurate. As it's not showing a increase in electricity used.

How did you get on with this, as I was thinking of switching to Bulb too?!

that is a huge amount for electricity - unless you have some furtive hydroponics going on in the attic. First bills often have adjustments on them for previous estimates etc- best to check whether the previous supplier has credited you back anything as well - ours did some stuff to correct the accounts after handover
