moneysupermarket.com: British Gas Click Energy 4

Commenting on the launch of British Gas’s online dual fuel product - Click Energy 4 - Paul Schofield, head of utilities at moneysupermarket.com, said: "The energy price war continues with British Gas restoring its position as the leading online dual fuel provider. The launch of Click Energy 4, effective immediately, gives a clear sign to the market that British Gas’s intends to remain top-dog.

“Retaliating against Scottish and Southern Energy’s new fixed rate deal (Price Fix 2008), which launched last week, the jostle for the crown is hotting up. This is especially poignant in the run up to cold winter conditions when many people will be looking to make huge savings by shopping around for the best energy deal. Of the big six providers, only Scottish Power and EDF Energy have yet to show their hand.

“British Gas’s battle to improve its poor customer service has been widely reported and customers should weigh up whether the savings are worth it. My advice is don’t fork out more than necessary to keep warm this winter and act now because it can take six to eight weeks for a transfer to a new provider to take effect.

“Anyone who is languishing on a standard tariff or an expensive online dual fuel deal could look to switch to Click Energy 4. It’s easy to do and you can save over £100.”
