Why switch gas and electricity supplier?

With all the uncertainty surrounding the price increases within the energy industry, we all want to be able to compare the cheapest gas and electricity deals offered by each utility supplier. Alongside the cost of your gas or electricity supply is the standard of service you receive from your supplier. With so many gas and electricity prices, services and suppliers to choose from, the biggest question is ‘are you getting the best deal?’

By using Moneysupermarket.com to compare gas and electricity prices you can find a cheaper deal and switch your utility supplier online, saving anything up to £200 per year! Not only that, depending on which option you choose you could also reduce the hassle involved in dealing with your chosen gas or electricity supplier and do your bit for the environment.

Switching utility supplier can open up lots of options that may not be available to you currently such as:

  • Paperless billing
    Some energy suppliers offer the option of viewing and paying your utility bills online, at the same time offering an annual discount* should you choose this option (*subject to terms and conditions)
  • Online account management
    Some energy suppliers give you the choice to manage your bills online, from viewing and paying your bill to submitting your latest meter reading therefore getting rid of those estimated bills. Some suppliers will allow you to provide your own online meter readings, which can save time and money by reducing overheads.
  • Discounts for taking both gas and electricity (dual fuel) from one energy supplier
    Discounts offered for this service vary with each energy supplier. You can get anything from £10.50 up to £60* (*subject to terms and conditions)
  • Discounts for paying by monthly direct debit
    Most suppliers will give you the opportunity to pay by monthly direct debit, which in turn can offer vast savings. These range from 4.2-10% on gas, 2.1-7.6% on electricity and 3-10% on dual fuel.
  • Renewable energy
    Renewable energy is produced from sources such as the sun, wind, water and plant material. Using renewable energy reduces the dependence we have on energy sources that play a big part in climate change and can help make a difference to the energy efficiency of your housing or buildings.
