Having a look at Dibdab's tariff won't do any harm.
But there's loads more variables to take account of than tariff alone.
He might have a more efficient boiler, his house might be better insulated.

Thats what I was thinking .

Fixed [email protected] v2 I would think.

I'm on that tariff, 4-bed detached Gas C/H, HW & hob, electric everything else. Paying circa £85 pcm for annual usage of Elec: 5000 kWh, Gas: 13100 kWh.

Tumble dryer had a bit of time off during March, but has been going full pelt during the drought.
