Initial supplier in new home

julieq

Just about to move into a new house which has an existing gas/electricity supplier. Can I choose new suppliers from the outset or is there a 30 day switching period?

There is a switching period of around 30 days, could be longer or could also sometimes be shorter.

You are stuck with them for the first month, but can start the switching process off right away. I did this when I moved here two years ago. Do ask the old supplier for the best tariff even tho it's only one month or they will automatically put you onto their standard (expensive) rate.

And make sure you agree the initial readings with the agents/sellers. You don't want to end up paying for all the power tools they used spitting and polishing your new home.
