Is it worth switching energy supplier right now?

It depends on your current tariff versus the best available deals. Use our comparison and 'should I switch?' tools to see whether a fixed or better variable deal would save you money today.

How long does switching energy supplier take?

A switch typically completes within five working days, and there's a 14-day cooling-off period. Your supply is never interrupted — the same gas and electricity flow into your home.

Are there exit fees for switching?

Some fixed tariffs charge exit fees of around £30–£60 per fuel if you leave early. Variable and rolling tariffs usually have none. Always check before switching.

Will switching supplier interrupt my supply?

No. Switching only changes who bills you; the physical gas and electricity supply continues uninterrupted with no work needed at your home.

Should I choose a fixed or variable tariff?

Fixed tariffs lock your unit rates and protect against rises; variable tariffs follow the market and can fall. If prices are expected to drop, variable can win, but it carries more risk.
