Why Switch Supplier

Millions of UK customers have switched their energy supplier since the market was opened up to competition in 1999.

If you've never switched you could be missing out on annual savings of up to £1000 and the process of switching your energy supplier is far easier than you might expect.

A recent DTI investigation discovered that 90% of customers who switched their gas and electricity company found it easy. New rules mean that you now have seven days from the date you receive the written confirmation to cancel a contract.

The main reason customers switch supplier is to save money on their electric and/or gas bills. In February 2007 Ofgem issued a statement:

ENERGY COMPANIES HAVE A CHOICE: CUT PRICES OR LOSE CUSTOMERS.

It is usually cheaper for you to have your gas and electricity from the same supplier as this means you will benefit from 'dual fuel' discounts. It is also cheaper to pay by direct debit. Some tariffs are only offered to customers paying by direct debit and are much cheaper than quarterly bills that you pay for by cheque or cash.

Sometimes your cheapest supplier may be your current supplier but you need to switch to a cheaper tariff. Switch 365 can find the cheapest tariff for you from your existing supplier.
