Why switch?

Since the gas and electricity market was deregulated in 1999, millions of households have cut their bills by switching.

There’s no reason to stay with a supplier that charges too much. Our free comparison and switching service enables you to find a plan that offers you the best value. You can take control of your supply, deciding how and who you want to pay for your gas and electricity.

Yes, you want to save money, but there are other good reasons to switch suppliers. Helping the environment, for example, is one. If you want, you can search for green electricity plans. You may even find that you can go green and save money on your current bill too.

We also include a customer satisfaction rating for each supplier, so you can see what other customers think of a supplier’s service.

It’s easy to change your gas and electricity suppliers using our site, which is one of the reasons it was ranked the number one website by Hitwise, in the 'Business and Finance - Utilities' category, based on the number of visitors to our site from October to December 2006. It just takes a few minutes to compare plans and then you can switch to the one you want.

We guide you through the switching process. And then, your new supplier takes care of everything.

We understand that people worry about switching suppliers. It’s actually very easy and it won’t affect your supply. The only change will be a reduction to your bill. Here are a few points to ease your mind:

• You will not lose your supply at any time

• You will not be charged twice. Your new supplier works out a switch date with your old supplier, and takes over your payments from then

• You are not paying any hidden charges for our service. You would get the same rate by going directly to the supplier and we often have access to online deals that aren’t available directly
