How to find out if you could switch to a cheaper energy tariff
If you have debt on your energy account
Speak with your supplier and ask if you are on the best tariff for you. You may be able to switch to one of their other tariffs if there is a cheaper option.
Once the debt on your account is paid, you will be able to switch to another supplier (if you can find a cheaper option). Advice about getting back on top of energy debt.
If you are not in debt on your energy account
Check online using an energy comparison site like Uswitch. You will need to tell the site:
- who your supplier is,
- what tariff you are on, and
- how much energy you use in a year.
You will find out all of this on your bill or statement.
