After putting your postcode into the energy search box, you’ll be transferred to freepricecompare.com to fill in the rest of your details and complete your energy search.

What’s the point of switching energy suppliers?

Gas and electricity suppliers try to attract new customers with their best rates. If you’ve been with a supplier for a while the likelihood is that you’re now on the supplier’s standard variable tariff. This can be significantly more expensive than the tariff you were on when you first joined them. By switching, you can again make the most of “new customer” deals.
