We are paying a very low rate compared to what we would have been if paying a non contact price. I have been being contacted regularly by companies looking for me to do a forward contract after this one runs out. I have told them all that I am not going to renew until later in the year as I think the price is going to fall more. Already the price I’m being offered now is about 5p a unit less than they were offering back in November.

We don't have gas or central heating, we are all electric which is expensive. Our bill went up considerably as well last month, but of course I wa off work for six weeks so did have heating on during the day when it was really cold. There is only two of us, the only heating we have on in the house is in the lounge and more often than not we use the open fire rather than the heating. Our hot water is an immersion heater and of course we cook electric and shower electric, we have noticed a big reduction since having a smart meter fitted though !!

We have a smart meter as well but not seen any redutions

I think the only reason we did mate was because their estimates of what they thought we were using were miles out, that's why we got the smart meter because I couldn't get any sense out of anyone
