Where Snug fits
Snug offers cheaper blocks for the periods when electric heating and hot water are normally scheduled, on a smart meter rather than a physical two-register one. For a household that has been on Economy 7 for years, it is usually the closest modern equivalent.
If your heating is a heat pump rather than storage heaters, look at Cosy first.
Common questions
Is Snug Octopus the same as Economy 7?
No. Economy 7 uses a two-register meter with a fixed night rate; Snug is a smart-meter time-of-use tariff with its own bands, billed half-hourly.
