There’s 2 adults and a toddler at home.
We try to save on gas and electric costs and are mindful of what we are using.
I have no idea what to look out in terms of tariffs. Not that great at maths either.
At the moment we are on the below.
My question is can we get any cheaper rates? Is this the best option for us? Is there anyone who explains this sort of stuff in simple terms?
We pay monthly. Our most recent bill for both gas and electric was £151 in feb and £120 in jan","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52427719","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"student.223"},"datePublished":"2024-03-20T23:55:53.000Z","text":"I'm on the tracker tariff.

I applied earlier today and just received an email saying my application has been accepted and will be effective as of tomorrow.
Knowing my bloody luck prices will rocket now but hoping I finally see normal prices after years of being ripped off."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52441149","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"sadact06"},"datePublished":"2024-03-22T22:02:42.000Z","text":"If you don't have a smart meter, get one. Get on Octopus tracker. Only those with money to waste do otherwise."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52427677","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"bigwheels"},"datePublished":"2024-03-20T23:37:12.000Z","text":"I fixed with them last month, they made a mistake.
They changed the prices but forgot to change the standing charge.
They have corrected it twice since.
Go to the home page, scroll down and look for change tariff to see your options.
More options if you have smart meters.
