Great news! An industry rule change means it’s now quicker than ever to switch to a new electricity retailer. Imagine switching to cheaper rates, bigger discounts or better perks in just two business days!

Previously, it took up to three months.

Now, retailers no longer need to rely on the next scheduled meter read to start billing you on a new plan. Work this to your advantage with this ultimate hack!

Some electricity retailers will allow eligible customers to backdate their new plan to the time of their last actual meter reading. This means you could pay a lower price for electricity you’ve already used – as much as 65 business days for basic meters, or 10 business days for smart meters!

Switching with us is easy. Our free comparison service allows you to compare prices, plans and features from a variety of electricity retailers.
