Compare Gas and Electricity Prices and Find a Better Energy Deal

Free to use. No pressure. Switching usually takes around five working days.

Why compare your energy with us?

Energy bills are one of the biggest regular costs in a UK home, and the gap between a good tariff and a poor one can run to hundreds of pounds a year. If you have never switched, or your fixed deal has ended, you are likely on your supplier's standard variable tariff, which is usually not the best value on the market.

Energy Deal UK does the comparing for you. Tell us a little about your home and how you use energy, and we will match you with tariffs from suppliers we work with, so you can decide in your own time.

Switch if it suits you

Your new supplier handles the changeover. There is no engineer visit for most switches, and your supply is never interrupted.

What affects your energy bill?

Unit rate: the price you pay per kilowatt hour (kWh) of gas or electricity used.

 

Standing charge: a fixed daily amount you pay however much energy you use. When comparing tariffs, look at both figures together, not just one.

 

Fixed or variable: a fixed tariff holds your rates for a set period, often 12 months or more, but may carry exit fees. A variable tariff can move up or down with the market and, for standard tariffs, with the Ofgem price cap.

 

Where you live: Ofgem sets the price cap by region, so rates differ between, for example, London, the North West and the South East. Our area guides explain what that means near you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is Energy Deal UK an energy supplier?

No. We are a comparison and switching service. Your gas and electricity are still supplied by the company you choose.

Does it cost anything to use?

No. Our service is free to you. [We may receive a commission from suppliers when you switch. This never adds to your bill.]

Will my supply be cut off when I switch?

No. The same network and pipes deliver your energy whichever supplier you choose. Only the company that bills you changes.

How long does switching take?

Usually around five working days. You also have a 14-day cooling-off period after agreeing a new contract.

Can I switch if I'm renting?

Generally yes, if you pay the energy supplier directly. Check your tenancy agreement if you are unsure.

What if I'm in debt to my current supplier?

Switching can be restricted if you owe more than a set amount. Speak to your supplier about a payment plan first.

Do I need a smart meter?

Not to compare or switch, though some tariffs, such as time-of-use plans, require one.

Who we work with and how we are paid

We compare tariffs from suppliers including Octopus Energy, British Gas, EDF and ScottishPower and more. We do not compare the whole market. Our service is free to you; we may be paid a commission by suppliers when you switch.
