What is a dual fuel energy tariff?
Where a link is marked *, it is a partner link — we receive commission at no extra cost to you. Links without a * earn us nothing. How we make money.
In short: One supplier bills both gas and electricity — sometimes with a dual-fuel discount, but splitting fuels across suppliers can still be cheaper.

Single-fuel households need only electricity — do not pay for gas you do not use.
One bill simplifies admin but is not always lowest cost.
