When to get an electricity quote

Getting an electricity quote is a smart way to stay ahead of new plans, products and services that can bring increased overall value, convenience and satisfaction to you as a customer.
The best time to get an electricity quote can vary but here are some suggestions:

1. If you haven’t switched for 12-18 months
If you had originally opted for a fixed term contract with your supplier, it may last around 12-18 months. Once you’ve reached the end of this period, your supplier may move you to a standard tariff. These tariffs can be more expensive, so it is worth getting an electricity quote once these deals are coming to an end.  All of our electricity plans are contract free, there are no tie-ins, no exit fees meaning every customer is treated equally whether you’re just joined or been with us for a lifetime!

2. In early Autumn
Winter is typically a time when you use more electricity to light and heat your home. This can mean increased costs or bills over the winter months. Get an electricity quote before the arrival of colder and darker days to see if you can make savings ahead of time. Our team can review your winter bill amounts from previous years and advise you on how to save energy around the home too. Book a call back to discuss your electricity usage.

3. When you’re moving house
Your energy needs may change when you move house and how you pay for your electricity may change too. When moving house consider whether the property has a credit meter which will mean you will receive a bill or a Keypad top up meter which means you will pay as you go. Similarly if you are building a new house you may want to get an electricity quote to help you choose the type of electricity meter for your new property as this will impact your electricity payment and plan options. Although moving home is a busy time, getting an electricity quote is quick and simple, and could save you money in the long term.

4. When you find out your electricity price is changing 
Depending on how your supplier generates or where your supplier sources your electricity from, external factors can play a part in the price you pay. This may include unpredictable weather conditions for Wind or Solar generation, fluctuating gas or oil prices or simply changes in standing charges which are the fixed costs associated with the supply of electricity to your home. Regardless of the reason your supplier must inform you if your electricity price is changing and getting an electricity quote can help you plan ahead for this.
