Send the link over please, think I just talked the Mrs into swapping from EDF 👍

I will send you a PM in a few mins. 

Even if you decide not to move onto Tracker (you need smart meters btw) it's worth it for the free 50 quid, and a provider with a good app and decent billing platform. 

Just tried to send a PM and you have them switched off.

They changed the eligibility a couple of months ago, you now need one to go onto it as a newbie.

 

To be fair you are better off having one if going on it, for example the other week I was paying 8p a unit on Sunday so saved everything until then and I will be billed for my units that day at that price, if you dont have a smart meter that just take an average of the unit price over the month and bill you accordingly.

I only moved onto it at the start of July.

You’re right about them taking an average tho, I queried them moving me onto Tracker without a smart meter and got the following reply…

 

”Thank you for your email. If you don't have a smart meter, your bill will be based on an average of where the market has been during the billing period”

I have no idea how you got away with that then, they have needed people going onto it since at least June to have one

The email I quoted was in response to them putting me on Tracker, then me emailing them to say how can they with me not having a smart meter.

So they’re fully aware that I don’t have one.

Fair enough, still no idea why they let you on in the first place unless it's an empty condition and they aren't overly bothered.

Son used to use the washing machine four times a week,  I reminded him that as well as the water bill increasing so was the electric bill.
