We are moving house in 2 weeks time. What i would be intrested to know is
this.
At our current house we have never changed suppliers, so are still British
gas & Southern electric.
The owners of the house we are moving to are Powergen for both. My question
is, When we move in, (completion day) is/does our supplier have to be
Powergen? or do we have to take British gas & Southern electric with us?

Regards, Will

You can stay with Powergen as the house is now or change to any other provider
you wish.

Check wether powergen is cheaper at the new place because it usually is?
You can request british gas transfer your details to new address but takes
about 3 to 4 weeks change over.

I'd stay with powergen for a month or so and see what your bills come to
then change over to the other suppliers if you think they're too high?

Apply your bills on this calculator using your last bill as a starter but
change the supplier to powergen and the relevent details it ask to see what
difference there is at the other place.

Completely your choice. Wander off to a few of the comparison web
sites(*) and see what the suppliers have to offer for the area of the new
house. Rates vary from supplier to supplier, area to area, so the
cheapest in one place might not be the cheapest in another.

Ideally you'll have your consumption for the last year available from
your bills. But you'll have to make the, possibly very poor, assumption
that your consumption will be the same in the new place. If they are a
similar size, similar construction, similar insulation levels and heated
from the same energy source the consumption might not be too far off. But
large changes to any or all of them will have a significant effect,
either up or down... The sellers might be willing to let you have copies
of their last utility bills as a guide, remember the last quarter might
be a summer (low consumption) one.

(*) There are many comparison sites out there but only two or prehaps
three databases behind the web presentations. If one site looks very much
like another and the data is the same your just seeing a different view
of the same data. The differences between databases are fairly obvious
once you are aware and look.

All of these answers are probably irrelevant. If the OP wants to know
what will happen if he doesn't do anything, I guess he moves to what
the old owners used, by default.

I can say the same as BG,these barstewards are in toe with BT as they keep
you waiting on the phone and then have the cheek to say its a busy day for
us...damn its like that every time you phone up,even the moment you make
the connection they tell you to press this and then press another button
then you get lingo of what to do and what their services entail.

No need for all that crap just answer the bloody phone.

It's an absolute minefield.

I've been with several suppliers, eventually going to Powergen. Then at the
biginning of the year Npower appeared to be cheaper and so I hopped over to
them. Now one substantial rise later and another promised for October, it looks
as if Southern Electricity will then be cheaper, at least until the end of the
year, when they will probably follow suit but I will change to them as soon as I
receive the Npower letter.

Since the introduction of the competitive market place, fair comparisons have
deliberately been made almost impossible. In fact I wouldn't be at all surprised
if they deliberately phase their changes to confuse the consumer. I wonder if
there would be any mileage in them aligning their price lists for each year say.

Fine then if you don't mind spending the time having to tell the stupid
c***s the same thing over and over again because it doesn't sink into
their thick moronic skulls!.....
