Are combined electricity and gas plans cheaper than separate contracts in Spain?
Combined electricity and gas plans can be cheaper than separate contracts in Spain, especially when they include discounts, promotional benefits or additional savings for contracting both supplies with the same provider.
However, they are not always the cheapest option in every case. The final saving depends on your electricity and gas consumption, the tariff conditions, the type of property and whether you can take advantage of the benefits included in the plan.
For some households, a combined plan is more convenient and cost-effective. For others, contracting electricity with one company and gas with another may offer a better price if both separate tariffs are especially competitive.
The key is to compare the total cost and the services included, not just the unit price of electricity or gas.
Reasons to combine electricity and gas at home
There are several reasons to consider contracting both supplies together. Below are the most important ones.
Greater convenience
One of the most attractive benefits of choosing an electricity and gas package is simplifying the management of your household services.
By combining your energy supplies, you can:
- Manage everything from the same place: the same customer area or mobile app.
- Save time and effort on procedures and reviews.
With Repsol, you can manage your electricity and gas supply from the same app, Vivit, where you can check consumption, bills and discounts, and carry out procedures quickly and easily.
Possibility of discounts and offers
Some energy suppliers offer special discounts and promotions for customers who decide to combine their gas and electricity services. This can be especially beneficial if your energy consumption is high.
At Repsol, by contracting our energy solutions, you can obtain significant discounts on your bills, refuelling and purchases.
Better customer service
When your supplies are together, you deal with a single provider.
This usually results in faster and more efficient service, as you have one point of contact for all your energy-related questions and concerns, as well as for resolving incidents.
When is it not advisable to combine electricity and gas?
Despite its clear advantages, having electricity and gas combined is not always the best option.
There are situations where it may be more interesting to keep them separate:
- If you find a very competitive electricity tariff with one company and a clearly better gas tariff with another.
- If you hardly use gas, for example only for hot water, and a combined package is not worthwhile. At Repsol, we offer Tarifa Luz y Gas RL1, specifically designed for these cases.
- If you need very specific tariffs that are not usually included in combined plans.
For this reason, if your main goal is maximum savings, it may be useful to analyse offers from different companies for each supply separately and assess whether you need to change energy supplier depending on your current conditions.
How to combine your electricity and gas bill
Combining your electricity and gas bills is a simple and direct process. These are the general steps to follow when contracting both supplies in one package.
Research your consumption needs
First, you need to analyse your home’s energy needs.
Review your previous bills to understand how much you spend on each supply and when your usage peaks occur.
This will help you identify which tariff you should contract.
