If you have recently moved into your home, you may be having difficulties in knowing who supplies your premises with energy.
Note For New Occupiers with credit meters.
We would advise you to read your utility meters now (including water) if you have not already done so.
You may at some time in the future receive charges incurred by a previous occupier, and if you have not taken your own meter readings it will be more difficult for you to resolve any disputes.
As a new occupier (even though your energy supplies may be connected) you will need to contract with an energy supplier for the premises. Therefore, you have the option now of picking the supplier who is best for your own circumstances.
If you don't know how much energy you use we can still help you find the cheapest deal, by comparing all suppliers in your postcode using national average consumption figures. You can even apply on line to the one which you select now if you wish to, thus getting yet another job out of the way!
It will however, assist in the accuracy of the comparison calculations if you firstly find out who is the current contracted supplier for your home, using the information provided under the postcode box below.
