Changing Supplier

If you do decide to change there are a number of important points to consider such as;

• Shop around as the first quote isn’t always likely to be the best.
• Remember there are no charges for changing supplier.
• You can change your supplier even if you are on a prepay meter.
• Contact your new supplier and arrange a new contract with them.
• Give your current supplier 28 days notice, initially this can be done over the phone but follow it up with written confirmation.
• Pay any outstanding bills -if you don’t you may be prevented from switching.
• Take a meter reading on the day you change supplier.
