Switching energy providers
With energy companies now offering a wide range of deals, it’s easy to become confused about what’s on offer. To help you decide which is best for you, use one of the Internet price comparison services accredited to the Consumer Focus Confidence Code. Then you can compare the different offerings from domestic gas and electricity suppliers and to find out how much you could save by switching to a new supplier.
These independent price comparison sites help thousands of households every month to compare prices and switch to better deals. They offer a comprehensive service that compares your current supplier’s tariffs and usage with those of all suppliers. They help you find the best deal and provide you with a free and easy-to-use switching service. They also give detailed information on each tariff, including gas and electricity unit prices and any discounts.
The Consumer Focus Confidence Code is designed to help make the switching process easier, more reliable and provide reassurance for consumers.
