How to Save on Your Home Energy Bills with Switchify

Gas and electricity bills remain a significant household expense, so it makes sense to regularly review what you’re paying and check whether there may be other options available.

Small changes around the home can help reduce energy use, but your energy tariff can also make a difference to what you pay. If you haven’t reviewed your energy arrangements recently, taking a few minutes to check your options could be worthwhile.

That’s where Switchify can help.

Switchify provides a simple way for UK households to make an energy savings enquiry and find out whether there may be an opportunity to reduce their energy costs.

Simply complete a short online enquiry and an energy specialist can discuss your current energy situation, talk you through the options that may be available and help you understand whether switching could potentially save you money.

There’s no obligation to switch.

Why it pays to review your energy costs regularly

Energy prices and available offers can change over time, which means the option that suited your household previously may not necessarily remain the most appropriate one.

Many households simply continue with their existing energy arrangements without reviewing them. It’s understandable – energy isn’t something most people want to spend their spare time thinking about.

But periodically checking your energy costs can help you understand what you’re currently paying and whether another option may be worth considering.

Think of it in the same way as reviewing your broadband, mobile contract or insurance. A regular check can help make sure you’re not overlooking an opportunity to save.

How Switchify can help

Switchify is designed to make checking your energy options straightforward.

Rather than spending time trying to work everything out yourself, you can complete a quick online enquiry with some basic information about your household and current energy situation.

An energy specialist can then speak with you about your circumstances and discuss the energy options that may be available to you.

You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, understand what’s being offered and decide whether you’d like to take things any further.

There’s no obligation to switch simply because you’ve made an enquiry.

Step by step: checking your energy options with Switchify

Getting started is simple.

First, complete the short Switchify online enquiry. You’ll be asked for some basic information so that your enquiry can be handled appropriately.

Once your enquiry has been submitted, an energy specialist can speak with you about your current energy situation and discuss the options that may be available.

If there’s an option that could be suitable, they’ll be able to explain it to you, answer your questions and help you understand the potential benefits.

You can then decide whether you’d like to proceed.

If you do decide to switch, you’ll be guided through the next steps. If you don’t want to proceed, there’s no obligation to do so.

Simple ways to reduce your energy use at home

Your tariff isn’t the only thing that affects your bills. Reducing the amount of gas and electricity you use can also make a difference.

Turning your thermostat down slightly, avoiding heating empty rooms and making sure your heating isn’t running unnecessarily can all help reduce gas consumption.

For electricity, simple changes such as switching lights off when they’re not needed, using LED bulbs, avoiding leaving appliances on standby and running washing machines or dishwashers with full loads can help reduce usage.

None of these changes is likely to transform a household bill by itself, but together they can make a useful difference.

And combining lower energy consumption with regularly reviewing your energy arrangements can put you in a better position to manage your household energy costs.

Missed the October price rise? It may still be worth checking

If you didn’t review your energy arrangements before the October price change, that doesn’t mean you’ve missed your opportunity to look at your options.

Energy costs and available offers can change, so it can still be worthwhile checking your current situation and understanding what alternatives may be available.

With further changes to household energy costs possible in the months ahead, reviewing your options now could help you make a more informed decision about what to do next.
