With energy prices remaining much higher than pre-crisis levels and likely to go up again in the autumn, it’s perhaps a good time to consider switching energy supplier. Here’s a quick guide to doing this.
The energy crisis prompted the disappearance of competitive deals in the energy market, meaning that the vast majority of customers are now on standard tariffs linked to the Ofgem energy price cap. Nevertheless, alternative deals are starting to return, with some fixed deals being set at about the current price cap.
Switching is relatively easy to do, and it typically takes less than five days to complete. First, you need to decide if you want to fix your energy prices for a year or two. While fixing will insulate you from any price rises, it may mean you end up paying more if the price cap falls in future. Next, use a comparison tool like the Cheap Energy Club on the MoneySavingExpert website to see how different deals will work out for you. Pick out the one that looks the best, bearing in mind factors like the length of the tariff and any fees to pay if you exit early. Once you decide, simply make the switch, either directly or through a comparison website, and your new supplier will handle it.
Your energy supplier is not the only thing determining your energy costs, however. Xgas can provide a boiler service in Wrexham and nearby locations like Chester to ensure your boiler is working efficiently, so get in touch to learn more.
