Advantages: Save money

Disadvantages: none

I have now been informed that thisisme (member) is absolutely correct and you have to be a new customer of NPower to change to Web 14, that is leave and the then rejoin. Apologies to thisisme. I was informed by the customer services that I was on Web 14 and a customer service representative rang me up and said I was on Web 14, which shows you they don't know? Oh! well, time for a change, another free dozen bottles of wine or maybe cash back this time? Confused, change with them again.

Whilst this is under the heading NPower, which for me is the cheapest power company to buy gas and electric from, I find them easy to contact, quick to answer and provide a reasonable service, this I think, will save you money as this involves any power company you are with.

I switched from British gas as their billing system needs a good shake up, to NPower just over 6 months ago and went onto the paperless 12 tariff which was cheaper than British Gas.

I checked a month later just as a matter of interest what would be the cheapest company now and found again it was NPower but they had brought in a new paperless 13 tariff which would save me more money so again I switched.

Tonight I checked again on one of the websites to see what would be the cheapest company and again it's NPower but again a new tariff WEB 14.

In total I will save around over £120 over the year, its worth checking.

In 6 months 2 new tariffs have been brought in that will save me money just by my changing to a different tariff but with the same company. I do not know for certain but are these new tariffs brought in just to bring in new customers when they go to the comparison web sites hoping the loyal existing customers do not check?

I know British Gas has a number of new tariffs coming on line, but if like me, you just accept that the power companies will give you the best deals. If you do not check on a regular basis you could lose out.
So no matter whom you are with, check that the tariff you are on is the latest/ cheapest, even if you want to stay with the power company you are with, it costs nothing online, but could save you money.
Please read comments - re changing tariffs as Web14 is an internet only account I put it down as Web4 Should read Web14 (key not working)
I decieded now to change to another power provider all is going well when I get a call from Npower aking why I was changing and I told them when the sales said this is a load of rubbish and he would gaurantee to put me on tariff 15 which I said OK. So hold on in there and you will win.

Summary: You may already do this but chances you don't, save money and check.
