Switching to E.ON in Norfolk
If you are moving to Norfolk for the first time, or if you are moving homes within Norfolk, 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 Norfolk 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.
Moving house can be a difficult and time-consuming process, but at Switch Plan we want to make it as easy as possible and take care of your energy plan for you. In Norfolk, E.on is the most popular energy provider. However, this might not mean that they have the best plans for you and your energy needs. Remember, you can contact us on 0330 054 0018 to discuss your energy options.

Who is my local gas distributor in Norfolk?
Wouldn't it be great if gas and electricity could just appear in your house as if by magic? Well unfortunately, that's not the case. It's not like you'll ever need to know the complexities behind the system that provides energy to your home, but you may want to know the basics. There are 8 Gas Distribution Networks that transport gas within a particular region in the UK. These distribution networks are then managed by 4 gas distribution companies, which also control different regions' energy supply. That's all you really need to know, since your supplier provides energy directly to your home, so you will only need to liaise with them should you have any questions or emergencies. However, for your information, you can get in touch with your gas distribution network by calling them on 0345 835 1111.
Who is your distribution network operator in Norfolk?
Electricity distribution networks carry electricity from the high voltage transmission grid to domestic users. 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.
Electricity also arrives through a more complex system than we are ever made privy to. A high voltage transmission grid is the source of electricity, which is then transported to domestic users through electricity distribution networks. These are companies that hold special licenses that allow them to distribute electricity through the National Grid and transport it safely to your home. They are in charge of more complex issues, such as setting up electricity in a newbuild, or solving powercuts in your area.

UK Power Networks is the DNO in Norfolk. Should you ever need to contact them, there contact details are below.
