About uSwitch.com

uSwitch is a free, impartial online and telephone comparison and switching service that helps you to compare prices on a range of products and services including gas & electricity, heating cover, home phone, communications, insurance and personal finance products. Our aim is to help you take advantage of the best prices and services on offer from suppliers.

All the benefits of uSwitch.com's impartial, comprehensive and convenient service are available for business customers too with uSwitchforBusiness.com, which helps companies compare prices and switch on a range of business services including gas, electricity and insurance.

uSwitch has commercial deals in place with some suppliers across all our services which means we receive a small commission payment if you choose to switch or apply for a product with us. Our commercial relationships are in place to help make the switching process as convenient as possible for our customers, and in some cases we can offer exclusive deals that are not available directly from the supplier. They also mean we can provide you with a free service. Our commercial relationships have no bearing on the ranking of suppliers in your results.

uSwitch tries to include all suppliers and products on the market in our comparisons whenever possible - whether we receive commission from them or not. However there are circumstances where a supplier or a product cannot be included in our search - for example, we may not be able to show a supplier's products because we do not have a commercial agreement with them or because they do not wish to be included in our comparison.

People use uSwitch because we help you find the best product or tariff for your needs. We don't mind who you switch to, we just care that you switch to the right deal for you. Switching suppliers saves our customers hundreds of pounds on their bills and is easy to do. For example, between 1st July 2010 and 31st December 2010, at least 10% of people who switched energy supplier with uSwitch saved up to £420.

Each service has a comprehensive help section to answer any questions you have about switching or applying for a product. If you would prefer to have a helping hand, our customer service team are here to help, both before and after you switch.
