Setting up an E.ON contract in the 31st biggest county in the UK?

Switching to E.ON in Grampian?

When you move house, one of the most important things you need to do is set up your gas and electricity contracts. This is a very easy process, although some people find it rather overwhelming. That's why Switch Plan are here. Our experts will do everything for you to make sure your home in Grampian is fully fuelled up before you move in. However, there are just 3 things you need to make sure it all runs smoothly:

• 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 provider.
• Next, you should do the exact same thing in your new house in Grampian! Locate the energy meter, jot down the reading, and write it down so that 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 good to have a note of this so you're not overcharged and pay for energy you haven't used yourself!
• Lastly, when you move house, it's highly likely that you take on a 'deemed' contract, which means that you will continue with 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 our dedicated guide and find out who your new supplier is.

Heading over to E.ON's website is a easy way to find out all about their available tariffs. However, having a chat with one of our experts will provide you with impartial information about their energy plans. Switch Plan provides a free service to advise you on all of your options. So, give us a ring on 0330 054 0018 and our experts can talk you through all your available options.

Who distributes Grampian's gas?

Before gas arrives at your house, it must be transported through a system of pipes from its source. As consumers, we don't tend to pay much attention to this part of the process, understandably, since we don't see it directly. However, it might be useful to know a tiny bit of information about gas distribution, since it does affect each and every one of us.

There are 8 Gas Distribution Networks, overseen by 4 gas distribution companies, that make up the system of gas distribution in the UK. They control the transportation of gas throughout the UK to make sure it arrives safely in your home. Since they deal with gas transportation well before it becomes part of your domestic energy consumption, you will probably never need to get in touch with your gas distribution network. However, just in case, their contact number is 0800 912 1700.

Who manages electricity distribution for the 148,594 households in Grampian?

A Distribution Network Operator is a company licensed to distribute electricity in the UK. These companies own and operate the system of cables and towers that bring electricity from the National Grid all the way to your home. You may have to contact them for matters such as moving your meter, setting up electricity in a new city property and they intervene to fix power cuts.

Just like with your gas distribution network, you might not need to contact your DNO. However, just in case, your network operator is SSE in Grampian, and you can find their contact details below.
