Switching your energy supplier
You will probably save money on your gas and electricity bills by switching to a new supplier.
There are a few things you need to check first:
- Do you have a debt?
- What meter do you have?
- Do you have an exit fee?
You may still be able to switch even if you have a debt, a repayment meter, or an exit fee. Check with your supplier.
