How to make the switch to E.ON in Derbyshire?
Moving to Derbyshire and want to get started on an E.ON energy plan? You'll want to make sure that your gas and electricity is fully set up before the big move-in day. No one wants a dark, cold house! Our experts can sort this out for you, from start to finish. However, in order to make the most informed decision possible, they will need you to do a few things beforehand.- Firstly, when you leave your old house, take a note of the meter reading and leave it in an accessible place 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 supplier.
- Next, you should do the exact same thing in your new house in Derbyshire! Just find the energy meter and take a note of the reading so you have it to hand should you need it. Sometimes, the supplier of your new property might request a meter reading to know when to start charging you for the energy you use. So it's important to have a note of this so as not to be overcharged and pay for energy you haven't used!
- Lastly, when you move house, it's highly likely that you inherit a 'deemed' contract. This means that you carry on the contract that the previous residents of the property had agreed to. You might like this plan, and want to stick with it! But chances are you will need to switch over to a different tariff to suit your energy needs better. If you're not sure who supplies your new house with energy, or if the previous inhabitants of the house didn't leave you a note with the energy information, you can simply head over to the Ofgem website and find out who your new supplier is.
