When it's worth doing, bearing in mind if you do a switch it should always be done based on your consumption not what you pay current ptovider by dd each month, also if using comparison sites you will be signing up to online billing tariffs, all most all power companies online tariffs have cancellation charges (not that you cantleave before tariff ends, contract with a uk power co is a rolling 28 day contract, so can leave when you want), so the savings each 6 months will probably be a max of 30-40 quid canx charges for lweaving tariff early vary company to company but often in the region 30-60 quid thus erasing the save for moving supplier. Also internet deals end, if you're on eon Fix Online 6-8 for instance of British Gas websaver 8 or npower sign online 19, Scottish Power Online energy saver 10, EDF online saver 6, what is currently the cheapest deals these companies now offer are dearer than these earlier versions which still have months to run before they end, so not always worth switching depending on what tariff you have0
