Why Switch Energy Suppliers?
Comparing energy deals is more than just finding the cheapest energy supplier; it’s about finding a company that values its clients, offers exceptional customer service, and provides various energy tariffs to suit your needs.
Here’s the breakdown:
Lower energy bills
One of the biggest reasons for changing energy suppliers is to reduce your overall annual energy costs. By comparing tariffs from multiple suppliers, you might find a deal that saves you significant money over time.
Better customer service
Poor customer service can be frustrating and time-consuming. Switching to an energy supplier that values your time and money can make dealing with energy-related issues a breeze.
Green energy options
Many homeowners are becoming more concerned about their carbon footprint, making green energy suppliers an appealing option.
Switching to a supplier that offers renewable sources like [solar], wind or hydropower can help reduce your carbon emissions, align with Net Zero goals and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Better products
Some energy suppliers offer innovative products and services, like smart meters, that help you save energy and money annually. You can access these cutting-edge solutions when switching energy suppliers.

Who Is The Cheapest Energy Supplier In The UK?
It’s tricky to say who is the cheapest energy supplier for gas and electricity in the UK, as pricing depends on several factors, such as:
- Your annual consumption
- The meter you use (prepaid vs smart meter)
- The tariff you are on (fixed deal vs standard variable tariff)
- Your location
What Is The Energy Price Cap?
The energy price cap is a maximum limit on unit rates and standing charges that energy suppliers can charge for standard variable tariffs. It applies to residential customers in England, Scotland, and Wales, but it does not apply to business energy.
It is set by Ofgem, the UK’s energy regulator, and is adjusted every three months to reflect the fluctuating wholesale energy prices.
At the time of writing (November 2024), the energy price cap for Q4 stands at £1,717 for a typical household’s annual energy bill, paid via direct debit. This was roughly a 10% (£149) increase from Q3 2024.
Note: The energy price cap is unavailable in Northern Ireland.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Should I opt for a fixed tariff?
The short answer: it depends.
Fixed tariffs are great because they ensure you pay a fixed amount per unit rate and standing charge for the entire duration of your energy contract. However, due to the market’s volatility, it might be best to stick with a variable tariff and keep an eye on market prices.
How long does it take to switch energy suppliers?
According to Ofgem, your new energy supplier will make the switch within five working days
What is the Energy Switch Guarantee?
The Energy Switch Guarantee (ESG) is a commitment that ensures your energy supply is not disrupted when switching energy suppliers in the UK. It’s designed to simplify the switching process to five working days as opposed to the previous standard of 21 days.
What is the Warm Home Discount?
The Warm Home Discount (WHD) is a government-backed initiative designed to help pensioners and low-income households with their energy bills. Those who are eligible can receive a once-off £150 payment towards their annual electricity bills, whereby participating suppliers will credit your account.
Find more details about the Warm Home Discount Scheme on the UK Government website.
