Electricity/gas supply in new house

ah84feb

Hi guys, I'm in the process of separating from my husband, and I get the keys to my new place on Monday (2nd October). Stupid question alert I'm afraid, but I have never had to set up gas/electricity supply myself as my husband has always dealt with that side of things. What do I do? Right now, I know there's electric storage heaters in the flat which I know cost a fortune so I'm hoping not to have to use them very often. I assume the flat has gas as well as electricity, but I'm not had this confirmed. I don't know who the previous tenants supplier is, or how to find this out, or if I'll even need to know. Would anyone be able to help me out with a bit of advice on how to go about setting up a supplier, how to know I'm getting the best deal, and anything else I may not be thinking about that I'd need to know. Sorry if this message sounds completely daft :-D

Details of how to find your energy supplier can be found here - https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/consumers/household-gas-and-electricity-guide/connections-and-moving-home/who-my-gas-or-electricity-supplier

As the flat has storage heaters it is unlikely to have gas central heating as these would have been removed and replaced by radiators.
