I’m moving home, what do I need to do?

Make sure you contact your electricity and gas supplier and let it know you're moving – you should give it at least 48 hours' notice. Then, on the day you move out, check your meter and inform your existing supplier of the readings and your new address so it can send you a final bill. Keep a note of the readings, and check they match your final bill.

When you move into your new home, take opening meter readings and inform the supplier of the new property as soon as you move in. If you're unsure who your supplier is, see how to find out who your provider is.

Once you're settled, be sure to do an energy comparison – you'll usually be put on a 'deemed contract', often an expensive standard tariff, with the existing supplier to the property. If you're not sure what your usage is, our Cheap Energy Club can estimate with a few details about the property.
