What is uSwitch?

Why should I compare energy prices and switch?
If you haven’t switched your energy tariff recently, it’s unlikely you’re on the best deal available. With uSwitch you could save up to £477 on your energy bills simply by switching.

There’s no one cheap energy supplier for everybody, so it’s important to run an energy comparison based on your details. That way we can help you find the best energy deals in your area and for your needs.

How can I get a cheap gas and electricity deal?
To find the cheapest gas and electricity deals you’ll need to shop around once your fixed plan has ended. After your plan’s end date you’ll likely be rolled onto a standard tariff, which is the most expensive type of plan.

If you’ve never switched or haven’t done so for a while, it’s likely you can find a cheaper energy deal in minutes with uSwitch. Simply enter a few details and search for a cheap energy deal.

You might not even need to switch away from your supplier to find a cheap energy tariff. Check to see if your current supplier has a cheap gas and electricity deal on offer — the cheapest energy supplier for you could be the one you’re already with.

Which is the cheapest energy supplier?
The cheapest energy supplier for someone else isn’t necessarily the cheapest for you. That’s why we compare energy suppliers tailored to you to get the best energy deals.

Energy suppliers vary their pricing by region and your bill will also depend on your usage. Different energy suppliers also target different types of household, so some might offer a cheaper deal to a family home with high usage, while someone living alone with low usage might find a cheaper energy deal with a different supplier.

We only work with trusted energy suppliers and run a yearly customer satisfaction report so you can see how each supplier performs in a wide range of categories from customer service to value for money, green services to smart meter installation.

Can I compare gas prices or compare electricity prices separately?
Yes, while you can compare dual fuel prices with uSwitch you can also choose to compare gas prices or compare electricity prices separately, depending on your needs.

Not all households use both types of energy and many energy suppliers offer tariffs for just one type of fuel. You can also compare gas and electricity separately if you wish to choose different suppliers for each instead of using a dual fuel tariff.

Compare electricity only
In Great Britain, around 4 million households do not use mains gas for heating. Just over half of all non-gas households use electricity as their primary heating source (Ofgem).

If you don't require a gas tariff for your home, you can search for separate electricity-only tariffs. When comparing energy prices with uSwitch, we'll ask if you use gas in your home. If you answer no, we'll show you electricity-only tariffs that could save you money.

If you use both gas and electricity but want to compare tariffs from different suppliers, you can choose to see these separately by choosing 'show me electricity plans' on your results page.

Compare gas only
While most households use electricity and will require both an electricity and gas plan, you can also choose to have separate suppliers or tariffs for each fuel.

There are a number of gas-only suppliers and many standard energy suppliers also offer separate gas-only tariffs.

If you'd like to compare gas tariffs with uSwitch, simply run an energy comparison and select 'show me gas only plans' on your results page. You'll be able to easily compare gas-only plans and dual-fuel tariffs to see which is the best energy deal for you.
