Don't be fooled into thinking that switching energy suppliers is difficult or disruptive. It's actually incredibly easy, especially with our Switch Plan service. There are just a few things you need to make sure you do before giving us a ring.

• Whether you are moving into a rented property or you are a new homeowner, you should always take a energy meter reading before you leave your last property. This is so that your energy supplier - or your landlord - doesn't overcharge you for energy you haven't actually used. We recommend taking photos and writing it all down to keep a record of this information.
• Moving into your new property also requires you to take a meter reading. Again, take a photo and jot down the numbers on the meter. If you don't know how to read your meter, check out our handy guide which will walk you through it.
• You also need to contact your current supplier to let them know that you are moving property. Whether you intend to carry your current energy plan over from your previous residency, or you are looking to switch suppliers (which we recommend!), you should always inform your current supplier about this change. Remember, if you are ending a fixed contract before the end of your contract, you might face an exit fee depending on your supplier! If you don't know who your supplier is, check a recent bill, or head over to the our dedicated guide and find out who your supplier is.
• If you want to sort out your energy supply before you move, then that's great. However, don't worry if you don't get round to it - you won't be left without gas and electricity! You will inherit a deemed contract, which means that you will simply start up on the energy plan that the previous residents of your new property had chosen. Or, you might be on a default contract, however be careful as these tend to be much more expensive, so you'll want to switch ASAP!
