Switching energy suppliers may seem like a big deal, but in reality it's so easy. Switch Plan have made it quicker and simpler than ever. You just need to make sure that you follow a few simple instructions to get started with your new energy plan in West Midlands. * Taking energy meter readings in both your old and new properties is very important to ensure that you aren't overcharged. If you don't note down how much you used, your supplier won't know when you stopped using energy in your previous residence, and when you started in your new place. If you are in a rented property, your landlord might take charge of this, but depending on who is in charge of your energy bills - as should be outlined on your tenancy agreement - you might be expected to send proof of your readings to your landlord. * Let your supplier know that you are moving. If you don't know who supplies you with energy, check a recent energy bill, either online or through the post. Alternatively, head over to our dedicated guide and you'll find out everything you need about your energy supply . * Lastly, it's highly likely that you take on a 'deemed' contract in your new residence, which means that you will continue with the contract that the previous residents of the property had signed up 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.
