How It Works
Our simple process to help you save money on your energy bills
Enter Your Details
Start by entering your postcode and a few details about your current energy usage. Don't worry if you don't know your exact usage - we can estimate based on your property size and the number of occupants.
Compare Energy Deals
We'll show you a comprehensive list of energy suppliers and tariffs available in your area. You can compare prices, contract lengths, customer service ratings, and green energy options to find the perfect match for your needs.
Choose Your New Supplier
Once you've found the right energy deal, simply select it and confirm your choice. We'll show you exactly how much you could save compared to your current tariff and provide all the details about your new energy plan.
Complete Your Switch
That's it! We'll handle the rest of the process for you. Your new supplier will contact your current provider and arrange the switch. There's no need for any installations or engineer visits, and there will be no interruption to your energy supply.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will there be any interruption to my energy supply?
No, there will be no interruption to your energy supply during the switching process. Your energy will continue to flow through the same pipes and wires, regardless of which supplier you choose. The only thing that changes is who bills you for the energy you use.
How long does the switching process take?
The energy switching process typically takes around 21 days to complete. This includes a 14-day cooling-off period during which you can cancel the switch if you change your mind. The actual switch happens on a specific day, and you'll be informed of this date in advance.
Will I need to pay an exit fee to my current supplier?
If you're currently on a fixed-term contract with your energy supplier, you may need to pay an exit fee if you switch before the contract ends. However, if you're within 49 days of your contract end date, suppliers cannot charge exit fees. Our comparison tool will show you if any exit fees apply, so you can factor this into your decision.
Do I need to contact my current supplier?
No, you don't need to contact your current supplier. Once you've chosen a new supplier through our service, they will handle the entire switching process for you. Your new supplier will contact your current provider and arrange the transfer of your account.
Will I need a new meter installed?
In most cases, no. You'll continue to use your existing meter when you switch suppliers. However, if you're switching to a specific tariff that requires a smart meter and you don't already have one, your new supplier may arrange for one to be installed. This would be discussed with you during the switching process.
What information do I need to switch?
To switch energy suppliers, you'll need:
- Your postcode
- The name of your current energy supplier and tariff (if known)
- An estimate of your energy usage (from a recent bill, or we can help estimate)
- Your bank details for setting up payments to your new supplier
- Your meter reading on the day of the switch
Is there a fee for using your switching service?
No, our energy comparison and switching service is completely free for consumers to use. We receive a commission from energy suppliers when customers switch through our website, but this doesn't affect the prices you see or pay.
