How to read the figures on Econotion, and their limits.

General information, not advice

Everything on Econotion is general information. It isn't regulated financial advice and it doesn't take your circumstances into account, so before you switch tariff, buy equipment or apply for a grant, check the details with the supplier, installer or scheme yourself.

Where the figures come from

Figures come from primary sources, which means suppliers' own pricing data and terms, Ofgem, government, the Energy Saving Trust and published trial data. Each page lists its sources and when they were checked, and where a figure is our own calculation the page says so and shows the working. Our calculations are estimates, not quotes, and not promises of savings.

Figures go out of date

Energy prices, tariff terms, grants and rules change a lot, and Octopus for example reprices its fixed tariffs every few weeks, so a figure that was right when a page was written may not be right today. The supplier's own page and your own quote are what count.

Referral links

Econotion is funded through Octopus Energy's referral scheme and may earn a referral payment if you switch to Octopus through a link on this site, which doesn't change the rates you pay. Econotion is independent and isn't part of Octopus Energy, and using the referral scheme isn't an endorsement, a certification or a partnership.

Installation and safety

Heat pumps, batteries, chargers and other kit should be fitted by a qualified, accredited installer, and nothing on this site replaces their assessment of your home.
