I notice no-one has reviewed EDF recently so I thought I would add my thoughts. We switched to EDF over 2 years ago when we moved home, and I'd used a couple of price comparison websites and EDF/SWEB came up top every time, so I thought it was my only option.

...people living there etc), and after a few months they reduced the payments in accordance with what energy we had been using, which I thought was marvellous, and it turned out that they had reduced our gas to £11 a month, and electricity to £20 a month, which I thought was extremely cheap and I was really happy with this!!

Not only do EDF energy offer great customer service and reasonable rates, they are also the only electricity and gas company that give you nector points, so as your paying your bills in a way you are saving money! When I recived my first EDF energy bill I registed my nector card with the number on the bill and recived 300 ponits straight away!!
