Switching checklist
Do this before you press switch
Use annual kWh
Monthly Direct Debit can be too high, too low or seasonal. Annual usage is the clean comparison input.
Check exit fees
Fixed tariffs may have exit fees if you leave early, but Citizens Advice says you can usually switch fee-free in the final 49 days.
Take a meter reading
Record readings on switch day and keep screenshots of quoted rates, dates and credits.
