I'm think about switching, is it complicated?

Just wandering what the procedure is on switching online. And whether you need to be at home waiting for an engineer to visit, and how long it takes to switch?

Are there any procedural differences in switching to a different tariff on the same company and switching to a different company?

cheers.

Noone needs to call, its the same electricity and the same gas, you simply pay another company.

1 Go to a comparison site and provide your annual usage figures in Kwh.

Select the tariff and company that most suits your need, and proceed with the application.

When requested provide your meter readings to your new provider.

Procedure takes 6-8 weeks.

If you want to transfer to a different tariff with your existing supplier, easiest way is to call them and they will probably do the transfer immediately for you over the phone

If you have an online account with them, it may be possible to transfer to another tariff via that.
