Moving home is a great time to reevaluate whether you’re happy with your current energy provider. You may want to take the service with you or you might feel like it’s time for a change.
Switching energy supplier when you move home
If you want to make the jump when you move then all you need to do is notify your existing energy supplier that you’re leaving. Do this at least 48 hours before you move and provide the supplier with your new address and contact details. Finally, take meter readings before you leave so that you know exactly how much energy you have used up to the day of departure.
Finding a new energy supplier after a move
When you move into a new property you will automatically be put onto a ‘deemed contact’ with whichever company was supplying the property before you arrived. After that there are just a few simple steps to switching to a better energy provider for your needs:
- Find out who the existing supplier is
- Take meter readings on the day you move in and give them to the new supplier. This will create a new account for you.
- Compare energy prices online to make sure you’re getting the best deal. You don’t need exactly usage; predictions can be made based on the property type.
- Complete the switch process online
- Take meter readings on the day of the switch
- Settle any old bills
It’s incredibly simple to switch energy providers when you move – and the decision could save you £££s.
