Why should I switch energy suppliers when I move home?
When you move into a new home, the property’s existing energy provider will put you on a ‘deemed contract’, or their standard variable tariff (SVT). The SVT usually isn’t the best deal you can get for your energy, though.
Switching opens up more options, meaning you could avoid overpaying, lock in a lower rate, and find a deal that better suits you and your budget. It’s also a chance to explore green energy options.
Should I still compare energy deals if I’m not moving?
If you’re not on the move, it’s still worth looking at energy deals. Comparing energy prices helps you get a feel for what’s available, and to see if there’s a cheaper option than what you’re paying now.
There’s not as much variation in energy and gas prices as there has been in the past, but lots of energy companies are still offering fixed tariff deals, which can potentially save you money. And, prices and energy deals are constantly changing, so it pays to check in.
Before switching, check if your current supplier has any exit fees – if you're not subject to an exit fee, you’re free to switch and save!

How do I take over utilities when I move in?
Here’s how to make sure your gas and electric accounts are set up and ready for your move-in day:
Before you head out of the door and hand back your key, make sure to let your current supplier know you’re moving (with at least 48 hours' notice), and take meter readings the day you leave.
This will help ensure your first bill at your new place is accurate.
Let the current energy supplier to the property know you’re moving in and give them the meter readings. You can check who your electricity and gas supplier is online.
If you’ve found a deal that works for you, simply submit your details. Your new energy supplier will contact your old one to arrange the switch. All you need to do is pay the final bill from the old supplier – then you’re on your new tariff.
What’s the difference between a fixed and variable tariff?
There are a few different types of tariff you might see when comparing deals. So, which should you choose? Luckily, it's not complicated. Let’s bust some jargon.
