the richest man in atherstone

A while ago, I wrote that one of my goals for 2008 was to review my mortgage, gas and electric suppliers and see if I could get a better deal elsewhere.

Well, I jumped right in and used the excellent energy price comparison website Energy Helpline to find the cheapest supplier. The top result was Atlantic Electricity & Gas, so I switched there and then.

Over the next couple of weeks I received letters from them to formalise the signup process, however it wasn't until recently that I discovered that although most energy suppliers have increased their prices, Atlantic hadn't yet but were due to do so at the end of March. So, although they were the cheapest when I checked, it wasn't a level playing field!

So, I made a bit of a cock-up due to my lack of proper research - a lesson learned!

Fortunately, Atlantic Electric & Gas are still one of the best buys for my circumstances, however they're not the best. I need to check my paperwork to see if I am tied in to a deal with them and for how long. If not, I'll probably switch again in the Summer.
