I guess you’ve all heard the news about British Gas rising their prices up by 9%.  I have been with British Gas for a few years now and swallowed the recent rises, but after the last rise in May and the next rise announced only 5 months later it is time to switch away.  I used the site EnergyLinx to switch to EDF Blue +Price Promise, fixed until March 2015.  Comparing to the current British Gas prices for dual fuel (both electricity and gas) it based on my usage for 2012, it calculates a saving of £140.  Not bad for a few minutes of clicking and entering new direct debit details.  To compound this I used the cash back site www.topcashback.co.uk to claim an extra £33 back for switching.  I have used topcashback.co.uk for numerous purchases in the past with great success to claim a reasonable sum back.  So what are you waiting for – switch and claim cahsback at the same time!
