I wanted a fixed tariff and to pay quarterly by cash/cheque.

Doubt you'll find one on offer.

Enter any valid postcode. Select cash/cheque as payment method, then
click on "Apply filters", Then Cash/cheque Whole Amount (Quarterly).

Quite a few tariffs will appear (eventually - it's a slow website).


But by paying by cheque the cost per unit (kWh) is 10% to 11% higher
compared with paying by monthly DD. This is for both electricity and gas.

The daily standing charge is around 20p whereas I'm paying around 15p
per day with my supplier. I'm also paying less per unit with my supplier
than the EDF monthly DD fixed plan.

Less per unit is better if you have to choose, The SO is much the smaller
component of overall cost for most people.
I have spread sheet calculator. Just put in the tariffs and it works out
he bill. I can vary current usage by any %age to see what difference it
makes. Usually very little and not enough to sway the decision.
