Start with your usage
The best offer depends on how much energy your household uses and when it uses it. Begin with a recent annual statement rather than comparing headline prices alone.
Separate fixed costs from consumption costs. This makes it easier to compare like for like and avoid being distracted by a single promotional number.
Check the conditions
Read the eligibility rules, contract length, cancellation terms, and any welcome or referral conditions. An offer is only useful when it matches your situation.
Look for the last-checked date on this page and confirm the provider’s own terms before you activate an offer.
Calculate the real value
Add the advertised saving to the cost of switching, recurring fees, and any requirements. A simple annual estimate gives you a clearer comparison than a short-term headline.
Use the offer widget on this page to view the current activation route. Offers are reviewed monthly and may expire earlier when the provider changes its terms.
