Why Switch Energy Supplier?

Why Should I Change?

Anyone in the United Kingdom has the right to choose their own gas and electricity supplier. This is rather simple too. Changing suppliers doesn't require a change in pipes or layout. It just amounts to a change in price.

What Do I Need to Do?

It is as simple as getting a new quote. It should only take a few minutes of your time. In order for the quote to be accurate, you need to be able to give them a statement of how much energy you usually use and how much you've paid in the past. Your old bills should contain most of this information.

How Does It All Work?

The service works by doing a simple comparison of all the major possible suppliers. All of the information used is from the companies themselves to ensure that it is accurate and up to date. The results are then ranked based on how much you would save through switching. If you know how much electricity and gas you regularly use, how much you pay your supplier on average, and who your supplier is, then you are ready to get your quote.

What Happens With The Application?

Once you send your application, you just need to wait. The comparison service will send a confirmation to your email and then securely pass along your request to the supplier that you've chosen. They will then process the switch. This could take as long as 50 days, so be patient. The company will send official contact once your switch is complete.

What Are the Benefits of Using Such A Service?

The main benefit is the ease of use. Such sites are impartial and independent services that gather all of the relevant information from your possible suppliers. It will only take a few minutes to give you a report that could help you save hundreds of pounds each year.

Are the prices up to date?

Yes. All of the information should be tracked continuously. Actually, the main comparators often receive information about price changes before they go into effect. All of this ensures that you get the most accurate information and advice.

How Do They Make Money Helping Me?

These sites receive revenue through introduction fees. If you switch to a new energy, phone, or broadband supplier through one of them, they receive a finder's fee. You can choose to just use their website for research and switch directly through the supplier, but that harms revenue stream and puts the future of these website in peril.

It is easy to see with which suppliers are currently linked into the search. If there is an application button next to their information then they are part of the program.

Will There Be New Services In The Future?

Yes. We hope to soon expand our services to cover all telecommunications and utility providers.
