About U Switch - the U Switch energy calculator
If you are worried about the ever increasing cost of your Gas bill or want to find a better supplier for your home Broadband or Telephone Service, you really should take a look at the U Switch site.
U Switch uses some clever technology together with a few details from you to find the best deal in the market for YOU. You could save hundreds of pounds on your utilities bills just by checking on their site now. There's no catch...when the UK market was deregulated, in order to ensure that new companies could compete effectively with the existing suppliers of Gas and Electricity, the watchdog allowed what is known as differential pricing to allow the new smaller companies the chance to compete and catch up with British Gas. So, if you buy your Gas from an organisation other than British Gas or your Electricity from an organisation other than your old local electricity board, you should find that the rates for gas and the rates for electricity are far more competitive. U Switch can help you avoid some of the massive price rises imposed by the larger Gas and Electricity suppliers like British Gas and Powergen.
The U Switch calculator works out the cost of each tariff, by using the information you provide and making a few basic assumptions. The U Switch calculator then checks through all the tariffs available (not just the ones offered by U switch) and calculates the money that can be saved by switching from the current supplier. You have the option of looking for organisations that have a high quality of service or for those that offer 'green' electricity as well...so, you can customise the quote to things that matter to you.Here are just a few of the increases you may be facing if you don't switch now!
