As I have said here previously, my off-peak usage is about 30%,
and ever since I started keeping records nearly 30 years ago, E7
has been cheaper than a standard tariff, generally by about £4
per month.

However when my Tonic deal was expiring, I looked at the usual
comparisons and found that the dual fuel non-E7 tariff Avro are
offering, compared with my previous good deal from Tonik, reduces
my electricity costs slightly and my gas costs quite a bit, and
the daily charge is also less.

They simply apply the same tariff to both readings, absolutely no
call for a meter change. It may be worth your while looking at
the numbers.

Thanks for the heads up Chris, I just ran my numbers and they offered a
similar dual fuel deal to that which you describe, at an estimated
annual saving of around £980 :-)

Based on their pricing my annual electric daytime cost would go down
£740, Night time would rise by £71, and gas would fall by £313 (and
those are figures with the standing charged factored in).

That sounds great, glad to help.

I am really not happy about the way one almost has to game the
system to keep on a good tariff. It is a bit like the way you
have to keep such a close eye on supermarket pricing, and those
who most need to make a saving probably have the least time,
inclination and ability to do the maths.
