Step 2 – Selecting a supplier

Once you have selected the supplier you would like to move to you just need to complete the switching application form online.  The information will then be sent to the new energy supplier and they will start the process of switching your account.

Step 3 – The changeover

Within a month you will be given a transfer date for when your new supplier will take over.  On this date you need to send your new supplier meter readings so that they can contact your old supplier and arrange for a final bill and closure of your account.

In summary there is not much work you need to do and you could save yourself a few hundred pounds a year by switching energy supplier.
