I have been a customer for a few years and never gave a thought to changing even with door knockers. I had many door knockers promoting their power company and it's funny how they sheepishly walk away after I show them my Contact invoice. I have a chuckle to myself as they say, 'oohh thank you maam'. For me, youve always been me focused. Thank you more

Free electricity every night for 3hrs between 9pm and midnight. Save money by taking showers and baking during those times. Using your heaters during those times means waking up to a warm home the following morning. Brilliant and cost effective. more
