Just moved in, can I "switch"?

blast

Hi there,
I've just moved into a new place (yesterday!), and it appears that the electricity is with edf. There was a 'Current Occupier' letter in the postbox for us, strangely asking us to pay £17... I assume I just tell them No about that.

However, what should I do first. Should I phone up EDF and register with them, then go onto MSE site, and switch from one of the linked sites... or.. shall I just go straight for "switching" via MSE without speaking to EDF?

Many Thanks.

I would phone up your preferred supplier and see what they say.

Beware of all energy companies in this field though - I was slammed in the process of moving homes and only realised when I phoned the local supplier to ensure they didn't hold up my transfer request.

1 - Ring EDF, they are currently your supplier and you need to give them your opening meter readings.
2 - Swtich to your preferred option, you will then recieve a final bill from EDF for the period between moving in and changing suppliers, bare in mind it takes around 6 weeks to change supplier, or 4 if you ask them to waive the mandatory cooling off period.
