What should I do about my energy supply when moving house?

Updated over 4 months ago

Before you move out:

Contact your current supplier before you move. Let them know your moving date and new address and ask if you can take your existing energy deal with you.

Take meter readings on the day you move out. Give these readings to your supplier so they can send an accurate final bill. (Keep a copy of the readings for yourself too!)

When you move in:

Take meter readings right away. Let the energy supplier for your new home know these readings and the date you moved in.

Find out who your new supplier is if you don't know. Visit the Energy Networks Association and enter your postcode to find the network operator for your area. Give them a call and they'll tell you who the supplier is at your address.

You’ll be placed on your provider’s standard variable tariff when you move in. This isn't usually going to be the cheapest deal you can get, so use a comparison like our Cheap Energy Club to see if you can save by switching.

Tip: Our Cheap Energy Club will estimate your energy usage to help you compare deals, even if you don't have exact usage figures yet.
