The days when consumers had no choice over who supplied their gas or electricity, and therefore no control over their monthly bills, are long gone. There is healthy competition in the market and choosing and changing supplier is a relatively easy process.
Changing supplier for your gas or electricity doesn't mean having anything done to your property in terms of pipes or wires. The method of supply remains the same; the only difference is who you pay for your energy. By comparing the suppliers you can compare costs and it’s possible that you can reduce your monthly outgoings.
