I changed to Yorkshire Energy from Avro a couple of months ago.
I got quotes from most suppliers - as I have a smart meter, accurately viewing annual gas and electricity readings is a doddle.
Yorkshire proved to be the least expensive of all the suppliers £12 a month less than Octopus.

Just sent them my meter readings for the first time and after I sent them online they offered me a win spin wheel, you spin it and you win anything from £1 to £512 of energy credit, is this just when you switch and give the first reading or it is everytime you submit reading's

I’ve never had that happen but use the app to send readings.

In two years, I've had one spin.

I sent my reading's by the app also, I looked on google just now and apparently it's for every time you offer reading's

Received an email from OVO Energy wanting to increase my Direct Debit to £50 per month for supplying just electricity.

Got an online quote from Octopus of £34 per month for next 12 months.

Switched this morning. :D

Because I have already received a quote and switched cannot now use the link since my property is already registered.

Good news, I have just called them and they are processing my account as per your referral so you should receive your £50 bonus when they have taken my first DD payment. :D

Switched a couple of months ago and it’s so much better than EON. Completely transparent billing.

£100 in credit on your account for switching not to be sniffed at either!

People questioning about having to pay £15 to watch their team..

People questioning about getting £100 towards their utility bills...

Let's try this approach... 6 Free games if you join Octopus....

Martin Lewis does auto energy swaps nowadays, to save hassle. Good idea to check there, as they check providers.

Rather than you just choose a provider...check out the best on offer from the searchers and then compare with the one in your head.

MSE site is Martin Lewis's.
