I have just moved from SSE to Bulb. My 3 year deal was coming to an end and SSE wanted me to pay £122 a year (combined gas and leccy). This was frankly more than I can afford, so I have done a lot of research and decided on Bulb (nearly chose OVO but didn't like some of their reviews). I must admit I am nervous about moving, but I am paying £89.79 a month with Bulb combined based on my highest ever yearly Kwh readings (20598 gas, 2683 leccy) from the last 12 months due to the awful winter. We are in a 3 bed semi and use energy mostly on Evenings and Weekends. I took a punt because normally I would never move to a small supplier but having no get out fee means I am not trapped. I am going to overpay a little until I figure out how economical the move has been then tweak my payments after a few months.
Yes - Bulb have only one variable tariff, (less confusing) but for me at least, it is miles cheaper than SSE. If it ever creeps up with Bulb to the point of reaching SSE prices I could move to a fixed long term deal elsewhere, but it would have to increase by a huge amount to have the variable rate cause a problem.
It was really easy switch and took just a few minutes and that was it. No hassle and now saving a small fortune. (make sure you tailor your quote from your Kwh readings and not what you pay) Really chuffed I have done this and Bulb have been really helpful on the Web Chat. Bulb use electricity created by our lovely star, some wind and the sea doing its tide shenanigans. The Gas is partly from reclaimed sources too....Cows probably!
Another immediate plus is that bulb give you £50 credit for signing up. You then get given a referral which you can post on Facebook, Twitter or wherever and then you get more credit too when people use your link. Shameless marketing by Bulb? Maybe, but credit is credit. Plus, it means a bit of spare cash to spend on the kids. Will it be a good decision moving? If I save £400 a year yes. Thanks for reading - and thanks very much in advance if you use my referral link below.
