Getting the best deal from your fuel supplier

January 2022 Energy Crisis

​As prices are set to increase again in April, we realise this is a very difficult time. Unfortunately, switching supplier is not really possible at the moment, although in some cases it may be possible to access a different deal from your current energy supplier. 

We can offer advice if you are faced with unaffordable energy bills.

We are here to help, we know it can be complicated and sometimes you just want to speak to a real person!
So please give us a call on freephone 0800 112 3044 or email advice@sdce.org.uk
​​In some cases we can do home visits if it is difficult for you to get out and about, so please do get in touch.

There's an excellent guide from Ofgem here, and below is a quick summary:

How to do it?

• ​Use an online switching site, like these.
• By post, we have some envelopes from USwitch we can send you.
• By phone, through one of the switching companies
• Through us! If you're finding it a bit of a palaver, get in touch, we can do it for you.

​You will need the following info, all found on your bill:

• Name and address
• Current supplier and tariff name
• Payment method
• Estimated annual consumption
• You will need to say if it is dual fuel, and if you have Economy 7
