Who is my local gas distributor in Cheshire?

How gas and electricity travels around the country seems somewhat of a mystery. If only it could stay that way! However, it's quite important that you know how gas is actually delivered to your home, should you encounter any sort of problem or difficulty. Usually, you can get in touch with your energy supplier for questions about energy provision and distribution, but just in case, here's a quick recap.

Before gas can actually arrive in your house to keep you warm and cook your food, it is actually transported through a pretty complex system of pipes that form the Gas Distribution Network in the UK. There are actually 8 gas distribution systems which are controlled by 4 gas distribution companies. They are in charge of all the transportation of gas around the country and, for this reason, you'll probably never need to get in touch with them. Your supplier will be able to provide you with all the information you need about your energy supply, as well as any advice you may need. However, should you need to get in touch with a concern or gas emergency, you can give them a ring on 0345 835 1111.

Switching to E.ON in Cheshire?

If you are moving to Cheshire for the first time, or if you are moving homes within Cheshire, an important part of moving house is ensuring that your energy is completely set up prior to moving in. Our experts over at Switch plan will carry out the whole process for you from start to finish, but they will need you to do a few very simple and quick things before chatting.

• Firstly, when you walk out the door of your old house, take a note of the meter reading and leave it in an easy place to find for the next residents of the property. This is to make a note of how much you used, and to stop you being accidentally overcharged by your provider.
• Next, go ahead and do the same in your new home in Cheshire when you first move in. Find the energy meter so you can jot down the reading. It's possible that the supplier of your new property might request a meter reading to know when to start charging you for the energy you have used yourself. So make sure to keep a note of this so your new supplier knows not to overcharge you for this energy too.
• Lastly, when you move house, you'll probably inherit a 'deemed' contract. This means that you carry on the contract that the previous inhabitants of the property had agreed to. You might like this plan, and want to stick with it! But it's likely that you will want to switch over to a different tariff, as your energy requirements will probably be very different. If you're not sure who provides energy to your new house, or if the previous inhabitants of the house didn't leave you a note with the energy information, you can simply use the Meter Point Administration's online search tool accessible here to find out who your new supplier is.

Switching to E.ON is free and easy, especially with Switch Plan's help. By giving us a ring on 0330 054 0018, one of our experts can guide you through the whole process. Or indeed, we can give you advice about all of your alternative options.
