Any recommendations for energy companies please.

I'm happy enough to stick with one of the 'big boys' (British Gas), even though I might pay a bit more. However Octopus Energy keeps winning awards, gets good reviews on TrustPilot and has been praised by ABers responding to similar questions on many occasions.

Anyone have experience with "bulb" they seem to be one of the cheaper suppliers with good customer ratings?

[Sunk]

Been with Bulb for 3 years now.
I would recommend them.

hey i can recommend octopus. If you go with them we can split a bonus if you use my code share.octopus.energy/ice-peach-82

I've just signed up with them for my new house and saving around £30 per month from my old supplier EON.

Sorry, I meant to say I've signed up with Bulb.

I'm pretty sure that Octopus is the only energy provider that gets the coveted "Which Recommended Provider" award...

Is Octopus like Direct Line Insurance were when they entered the insurance market ?

Drew customers in with cheap polices , but gradually got dearer and dearer as time passed .

[bednobs]

no, i need to renew my fixed rate tarrif next month. It;s actually cheaper next year

[bednobs]

when i moved over from SSE i started saving about £30 pm, and ive been with them for a year now and im in credit

most of them do that, Bazile, maybe all of them. I've been switching at the end of the first year for a few years now. Ofgem actually write to me advising me to do so and listing some alternatives.

I've been with So Energy for a year, after leaving Bulb when their gas prices were stubbornly not following the downward trend.
Just renewed with So. Not the absolute cheapest for my usage, but very competitive nonetheless, bills are clear and accurate, and their response to queries has been exemplary. Also recommended by Which? website.
