Recent price rises from gas and electricity providers have highlighted the good sense of shopping around for your utility supplier.
Now uSwitch has been feted by the Times for enabling customers to take advantage of the best prices, offers and services from any supplier.
In an interview, uSwitch founder Andrew Salmon said that since its launch in February 2000, uSwitch's free, customers-first service has made it the leading price comparison website in the country.
Mr Salmon says that the service is very quick and easy to use, and that customers will usually tell seven friends or acquaintances if the service is good or bad.
Consumers can easily find out if they're getting a good deal in their area by typing in their postcode and getting a deal online.
Mr Salmon concludes: "The consumer is extremely important to us. Even if the supplier fails, that reflects badly on us."
