Just enter your postcode in the box on the right and give us a few details about your current gas and electricity supplier - it only takes a few minutes to compare and switch and you could save up to £420 on your energy bill*.

uSwitch is accredited by Consumer Focus, so you won't find cheaper prices on any other comparison site.

Important information

To qualify for your free case of wine you must have come to this page using the Money Saving Expert link and switch to a dual fuel plan, e.g. you must switch both your gas and electricity to a single plan from a single supplier. If you have not come to this page from the Money Saving Expert website using the special link, you will not qualify for the wine.

When you have switched, you will receive a confirmation email from uSwitch with the subject line 'Confirmation of your request to switch your energy with uSwitch'. It will confirm that you are entitled to the free wine, so it is essential that you keep this email. If your confirmation email does not make any reference to the wine offer, please contact our customer services team on 0800 404 7908 or customerservices@uswitch.com.

Once you have started receiving energy from your new supplier and they have advised us your switch is complete, you will receive another email containing a voucher code for your wine and instructions on how to redeem it. This can take up to 4 months from the date you completed the switch through uSwitch.com. You must use the voucher within 12 months of the date it was sent.

Only one entry per household will be permitted each calendar year.
