The total price for a year is £248.76 (if all my calculations are correct).

About £260? There is 5% VAT to add on?

I have double checked with Avro Energy and those prices I have quoted are including VAT.

Just hope the switch goes without any hitches as I have had a few bad experiences in the past when switching suppliers - fingers crossed.

I can't get a quote from them as I don't have gas. I've come across this before and find it very unfair.

I've noticed many tariffs were the leccy is cheap but the gas is expensive. But only under a dual fuel deal, if you want a leccy only deal, the leccy costs a bit more. :thumbsdown:

If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is!
Son told me today that his supplier Igloo is currently "restructuring!" He will stay put and see what happens before moving (hopefully) to Octopus for his output from the second Ripple turbine. I note that igloo give 3% interest on balances and aren't (weren't) expensive. How's that for a business model? Let people build up an interest-free debt in the winter, pay them generous interest as soon as they are in credit... and all on an inexpensive tarriff!

Ovo used to offer interest when they first started if I recall. That was before they were on the TV all the time criticising the big 3 and before their prices sky rocketed to join them.
