What an EnergyPlus “quote” means
A home energy quote is an estimate of what you could pay for your gas and/or electricity on available UK tariffs, based on the information you provide (for example your postcode, household details and current usage). Because tariffs and availability can change, a quote helps you narrow down the best options for your home before you decide to switch.
Gas & electricity
Compare dual fuel quotes or separate gas and electricity quotes. Choose what fits your home and payment preference.
Fixed vs variable
See fixed-term tariffs (more predictable monthly costs) and variable tariffs (more flexible, but prices may change).
Green options
Where available, we’ll highlight greener tariffs so you can compare price and environmental claims side-by-side.

How to get an energy quote and switch

What to compare on a quote (quick checklist)

- Payment method requirements
- Customer service reputation

Understanding your quote: unit rates, standing charges and totals
When people search for an “energy quote” in the UK, they usually want a clear answer to one question: what will I actually pay? Your total cost is shaped by both your tariff rates and how much energy your home uses.
| Quote element | What it means | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Unit rate | The price you pay per kWh (electricity) or per kWh equivalent (gas). | Higher-usage households often feel unit rate changes the most. |
| Standing charge | A daily fixed cost to keep your home connected to the network. | Even if you use little energy, standing charges still apply. |
| Tariff type | Fixed tariffs keep the unit rate stable for a set period; variable tariffs can change. | Affects budgeting certainty and flexibility if prices fall. |
| Estimated annual cost | A projection based on your usage assumptions and tariff pricing. | Useful for comparing tariffs like-for-like, but your real bills depend on usage. |
If you can, use a recent bill or your online account to check your approximate usage. If you’re on a smart meter, recent monthly usage can help refine your quote.
Common mistakes when getting an energy quote
A quote is only as helpful as the assumptions behind it. Here are frequent issues we see when UK households compare energy tariffs.
Comparing on monthly direct debit only
The direct debit amount may be set to spread costs across the year. Focus on unit rates and standing charges, and check the projected annual cost.
Not matching your meter type
Some tariffs are only available for certain meter types. Your postcode helps us narrow down what’s likely to apply for your home.
Ignoring exit fees or contract end dates
If you’re mid-contract, an exit fee could reduce the benefit of switching now. We encourage checking your current tariff terms.
Underestimating changes in household usage
Working from home, adding an EV, or changing heating habits can shift usage. If your situation has changed, update your assumptions.
Do energy quotes vary by location in the UK?
Yes. While many tariffs are available nationwide, your postcode can affect the quote you see because of regional network costs and supply details. That’s why postcode is one of the first things we ask for.
Standing charges can differ
Standing charges and unit rates can vary across regions, even for the same supplier and tariff name.
Tariff availability can change
Some tariffs may be restricted by meter setup or regional supply arrangements, which your postcode helps identify.
Usage patterns vary
Home type and heating fuel choices differ around the UK, which can affect what a “good” quote looks like for your household.
Energy quote FAQs (UK)
Is it free to get an energy quote?
Yes—requesting a quote through EnergyPlus.co.uk is free, and there’s no obligation to switch.
Will my energy supply be interrupted if I switch?
Normally no. Switching supplier for a UK home is usually handled in the background with no loss of supply.
Can I get a quote without a recent bill?
Yes. A bill can improve accuracy, but you can still request a quote using your postcode and estimated household usage.
Is this for business energy?
No—this page is for home energy quotes only (UK residential customers).
What’s better: fixed or variable?
It depends. Fixed tariffs can make budgeting easier; variable tariffs can be more flexible. Your quote helps you compare both against your priorities.
What details do you need?
At minimum: your postcode and contact details. For better accuracy, add your current tariff and approximate usage if you have them to hand.
