If we have only been with our supplier for a few months will we be able to cap our energy with somebody else or are you usually tied in for a certain time?

    You can change suppliers whenever you want. You don`t have to be with 1 for a certain amount of time. All ou do is speak to supplier you want to move to & process normally takes around 28 days

    Make that more like 6-8 weeks, sadly... By the time you've given a cool-off period for the customer, and then a period where "objections" can be raised by the current supplier (for instance, that the customer has an outstanding debt with them)... 6-8 weeks is the 'buzz' phrase anyways. :(

    6-8 wks is the outer limits for a change but the above can occur so just beware. The majority will go through in the 28 day period
