What is the 100 hours of electricity bonus?
This offer allows customers who sign up to the EDF deal to get paid back for 100 hours of previous electricity usage on top, courtesy of Uswitch.
To claim the offer, customers will have to switch to EDF's deal and connect their smart meter to Uswitch's app.
How does the Uswitch bonus work?
Switch to the EDF deal
Go through the Uswitch energy comparison journey and switch to the EDF deal. It will have a badge saying "Uswitch Bonus: 100hrs electricity on us" attached if you have a smart meter, so it should be easy to spot.
Connect your smart meter to our app
Connect your smart meter when you switch (or ensure that you've connected it within 14 days of starting your switch) and then download the app to your phone. We'll do the rest.
We calculate your earnings
We'll calculate earnings based on your usage before starting your switch. They'll be available to withdraw via the Uswitch app for you to use however you like. Calculations should take around a week.
Withdraw your money
You can withdraw your money via the Uswitch app into your chosen bank account within 30 days of your switch (assuming your smart meter has also been connected).
How do you calculate my 100 hours?
- We'll look at the data available to us from your electricity smart meter from before the time you initiated your switch to determine the highest usage block of 100 consecutive hours of electricity usage in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
- We'll then pair your usage with the unit rates from your previous electricity plan to calculate your earnings up to a maximum amount of £50.
Historical usage varies based on each smart meter, so while we may be able to access 13 months of data for one home, we may only be able to access one week for another. If there isn’t sufficient smart meter history, we’ll pay an average amount instead, per our terms and conditions. Where possible, this will be personalised using the data we have available from your smart meter.
The amount we calculate will be added to your earnings in the Uswitch app, ready to withdraw directly to your bank once it becomes available.

Do I still have to pay my EDF energy bill?
Yes, this offer won't change your supplier's energy bill. Instead, think of it as a refund from Uswitch for the electricity you have already used. You'll earn cash in our app that you can withdraw to your bank account, which means you will still have to pay your supplier for the electricity you use.
We'll look at the data available to us from your electricity smart meter from before the time you initiated your switch to determine the highest usage block of 100 consecutive hours of electricity usage in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
