Most people read articles and listen to people on TV talk about switching electricity and gas suppliers but they seldom take any action. This is usually down to a combination of loyalty, laziness and the fact that it is believed to be a hassle – with the risk of double billing, a new provider proving more expensive or worse being cut off. The funny thing is these problems are no longer an issue for someone wishing to switch electricity and gas supplier.
Thanks to the internet all prices and tariffs can easily be compared independently, and legislation dictates that once you indicate that you want to switch energy suppliers the companies must sort it out amongst themselves. So the next you should know about it is when you receive a bill from your new energy supplier. I can say from personal experience that the process is relatively hassle free.
Regularly checking your gas and electricity tariff to ensure you have the best deal is a good habit to get into as most people tend think they won’t save much, but savings can potentially be in the £100s. Not only that but many suppliers offer incentives for switching like shopping vouchers which is not a bad bonus on top of annual savings.
So you want to switch gas and electricity supplier. The process is simple:
1. Do your research find a company that suits you i.e. prices, ethics etc.
2. Contact them and request to become a customer of theirs provide them with an accurate meter reading to ensure any final bills are correct.
3. Oh wait, that’s it your done all you do now is wait for your first bill from the new energy suppliers.
It really is that simple folks, switching energy supplier really is the easiest way to save money on your household bills.
