Many consumers think of their energy needs for gas and electricity as being separate and coming from different suppliers usually because they continue to buy each from the supplier that they’ve always used.

At least 10% of customers who used energyhelpline to switch their gas and electricity between 1 July 2010 and 4 October 2011 saved £389 a year or more. The average saving was 16%. During the last round of energy price rises (June 2011 - September 2011), prices rose by 14.4% on average across the big six energy suppliers. |
Most of the major energy providers in the market now supply both gas and electricity in what they call dual supply. If you choose to take both forms of energy from the same supplier it can be more convenient and may lead to discounts but it’s still worth making comparisons across the board because some suppliers may be cheaper for one than the other.
