The summary can give you an indication of who the cheapest energy supplier is, but to get a more accurate comparison of prices, you need to use our gas and electricity comparison tool based on your own energy usage.
However, if you have a small household with a lower-than-average consumption, you may find that opting for a plan that offers cashback or other bonuses up-front is more valuable for you.
How do you choose the right gas & electricity tariff?
The right dual fuel deal for you will depend on the size of your household and your energy consumption.
