Compare Prices for Gas and Electric Before You Commit

You could save hundreds of pounds by switching your gas and electricity to a cheaper tariff. Compare prices from all the energy suppliers in the UK, so you can find the cheapest deals in the market. It only takes a few minutes to find a cheaper energy deal.

Keeping track of the cheapest energy supplier is a never-ending task. One minute you think you know which supplier offers the cheapest energy deals, but the next they've been superseded by another company. Finding a cheap energy supplier is all about comparing the offers available right now. Switching suppliers is more common than many people imagine - from January to May 2020, 2.03 million gas customers and 2.49 million electricity customers switched suppliers. New energy deals, new offers and even new suppliers pop up regularly; so, when it's time to switch, running a price comparison is the best way to find out who the cheapest supplier is.

According to Government figures, the average annual electricity bill in 2019 was £699 (£58.25 per month), while gas cost £676 per year (56.33 per month). A household's individual bills will vary, depending on various factors. But if energy bills seem unreasonably high, it's definitely time to start looking around for something better.

One thing that affects energy price is location. Some regions have higher gas and electricity bills than others, due to things like population density (lots of people in an area usually means a lower cost), and local distribution charges. Energy in Yorkshire is particularly expensive, for example, while the South East is relatively cheap.
