To switch energy provider may seem a bit worrying to do but it is easy and straightforward and is very likely to save you money.
We will show you the process that you need to follow if you make a switch via one of the many price comparison websites. You will see how quick and simple it is. You should check that the comparison website is accredited, however.
After confirming you wish to switch, moneysupermarket will email you to confirm the new energy provider you\’ve chosen, along with basic information about them such as their contact details. At this point you\’ll also be advised about your cooling-off period (seven days during which you can cancel your contract) – in case you want to change your mind.
The switching process will be initiated and the next step that you hear about will be from your new energy provider who will contact you within the next few days to introduce themselves and explain how things will proceed from thereon.
Once the switch process is under way, you are unlikely to be contacted by your new energy company, unless they need some specific information. In fact this is the beauty of using this process. You sit back and let the energy companies do all the hard work! Your existing energy provider is bound by industry guideline that prevent them from persuading you to stay with them so they should not contact you during the switch over. They might, however, and may even offer you a stunning deal, but this is against industry codes of conduct.
As long as you don\’t have any unpaid bills with your existing supplier, there is no need for them to contact you. The switching process takes about a month to complete – with you doing very little during that time. Once everything is in place, you will then be notified that you are now buying your gas and electricity from you new supplier and can start to make cost saving straight away.
