Moved home! Switching providers, starting from scratch!

Have just this week moved into a property I’ve purchased. This is the first time I’ve ever been responsible for utilities or had any dealings it, rather sherterdly, and I don’t really have anybody near me to help unfortunately. The gas and electric is currently with a company called Boost! I’ve called to advise I’ve moved in, they have sent out a ‘PAYG’ account for me. I’m guessing straight away they aren’t the cheapest? If so, is it an easy process to switch to a different provider? There is also a smart meter type device in the house that shows the amount used! Not sure how this works! Boost said it is separate, all very confusing to me :-(

    This is the Oil and LPG section .


    Just register with the existing supplier then you are free to move .
  • Ah apologies! I have registered with the current (Boost) and will look to switch, I assume I can just go with any supplier that issues electricity / gas?
