Yes, our energy price comparison service is totally impartial and unbiased. We are independent of all the energy supply companies that we show on our service. In fact, we do not even allow them to advertise their services on our website.
Absolutely nothing. Our service is free to all consumers. There are no restrictions on how many times you can use it, nor is there any obligation if you do.
No. Should you decide to opt for a monthly direct debit plan, we will however need to ask you for your bank account details. These are collected on our secure server, and passed to your new supplier so that they can set up the direct debit for you.
We receive a small commission from your new supplier, if you decide to use our service to switch. This does not increase the price that you pay to your supplier, nor does it affect the way that we present you with the best energy deals. These are ranked strictly according to the savings that you can make based upon your personal circumstances and selections. These commissions contribute to the cost of providing this service and allow us to offer it to consumers for free.
We cover all suppliers of gas and electricity licensed to supply domestic consumers in Great Britain. In addition we also cover some of the main unlicensed suppliers. We cover all current tariffs from these suppliers across all the main energy payment methods. In this way we show you all the best deals currently available to you. As a general rule, we do not cover 'historic' or 'preserved' tariffs. These are energy tariffs where the price has been fixed at a given level because, for example, it was offered with a price guarantee for a certain period of time. These tariffs are no longer available to you, so you will not be able to apply for them.
No. That would compromise our independence.
We monitor prices from all UK energy suppliers on a continuous basis. We cross-check and validate all data that we receive from suppliers to ensure its integrity before updating our databases. In this way we aim to have constantly up-to-date prices, the highest levels of accuracy, and the most comprehensive service in the market.
