Just carried out a comparison between my current tariff and an alternative tariff from my current supplier via two comparison sites.

One tells me I could save £195.78 and the other £41........both with the same info.

Now the daily standing charge on both tariffs is the same - 20.459p per day.

Current gas tariff 3.115p / kWH alternative gas tariff 3.122p
Current electricity tariff 10.914p alternative electricity tariff 10.996p

So in both cases my current tariff is less than the alternative tariff - so how the hell do they come up with a saving on the alternative tariff and why do they differ by £154.78?????

To be honest? They'll say whatever is necessary to get you on their books. Energy consumption is so variable their projection figures could be made to say anything to make them look good.

Ah, but when you put in the actual consumption figures there should be no differences.

Oh, plus one of the sites told me that there was a £50 penalty to leave my current tariff - wrong, there is no penalty.

The only time I have really saved any money is when my existing supplier said which was their best deal for us.
