Find an energy tariff that's actually competitive — not just new customer pricing
Energy suppliers reserve their best deals for customers who switch. Loyal customers on standard variable tariffs often pay 20–30% more than equivalent fixed tariffs from the same supplier. The awkward truth is that switching regularly is the only way to avoid being a source of margin for your energy company.

Common questions about Home Energy
How do I find the cheapest home energy tariff?
Compare unit rates and standing charges, not just the estimated annual cost — that figure assumes average usage which may not reflect yours. Factor in tariff type (fixed vs variable), contract length, and exit fees. Switching every 12–24 months when your fixed tariff ends is consistently the most effective strategy.
Is a fixed or variable energy tariff better right now?
Fixed tariffs give certainty — your unit rate won't change during the term. Variable tariffs track wholesale prices, which can go up or down. The right choice depends on where you think prices are heading and your appetite for price risk. A specialist can help you understand the current market position before you decide.
What is a green energy tariff?
Green tariffs match the electricity you use with Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs) — certificates proving an equivalent amount of renewable energy was added to the grid. The actual electrons in your home aren't specifically from renewable sources (the grid doesn't work that way), but purchasing a green tariff financially supports renewable generation.
How long does switching energy supplier take?
Under Ofgem rules, a standard energy switch completes within 5 working days. You don't need to do anything — your new supplier handles the process including notifying your old supplier. There's a 14-day cooling-off period, and you won't face any gap in supply during the switch.
