What is a fixed energy tariff with £0 exit fees?

A fixed tariff locks in your unit rates and standing charge for a set period. A £0 exit fee means you can switch away before the contract ends without paying an early termination charge—useful if prices drop or your circumstances change.

Is a £0 exit fee fixed deal always the best value?

Not always. The cheapest option depends on your unit rates, standing charges, usage, and region. A £0 exit fee adds flexibility, but you should still compare the total annual cost before choosing.

How do I find the best fixed energy deal with £0 exit fee in the UK?

Compare fixed tariffs that explicitly state £0 exit fees, then rank them by estimated annual cost for your postcode and usage. You can compare and switch via https://www.energyplus.co.uk to see available offers and whether they include exit fees.

Can I switch energy suppliers if I’m in a fixed contract?

Yes. You can switch at any time, but many fixed deals charge an exit fee if you leave early. With a £0 exit fee tariff, you can switch without an early termination charge (though you’ll still pay for energy used up to the switch date).

Will I be credit checked to switch to a fixed energy tariff?

Some suppliers may run a credit check, particularly for monthly direct debit tariffs. Options can vary by supplier and payment method, so it’s worth checking eligibility during the switch journey.

How long does an energy switch take in the UK?

Most supplier switches complete in around 5 working days under the faster switching process, though timings can vary. Your energy supply won’t be interrupted during the switch.

Do I need to give meter readings when switching?

A meter reading is typically used to produce a final bill from your old supplier and to start your new account accurately. If you have a smart meter, readings may be provided automatically where compatible.

What should I compare besides the headline price?

Compare unit rates, standing charges, tariff length, payment method (e.g., direct debit), any discounts or incentives, customer service reputation, and terms like price changes, smart meter requirements, or renewable electricity options.

Are there any costs other than exit fees when switching?

Switching is usually free. You’ll pay your normal energy charges up to the switch date, and you may need to clear any outstanding balance with your current supplier. If you’re on a tariff with exit fees, those could apply unless the tariff states £0 exit fee.

Where can I compare and switch to a £0 exit fee fixed deal?

You can compare fixed tariffs and check which ones have £0 exit fees, then switch online at https://www.energyplus.co.uk.

Why choose a fixed deal with £0 exit fee?

A fixed tariff can help you budget, but exit fees can make switching expensive if the market changes. A £0 exit fee fixed deal is designed to give you flexibility while still providing price certainty for the unit rate during the term.

Switch without a penalty

If a better tariff appears, you can move without paying a fixed exit charge—helpful when prices fall or your usage changes.

More predictable energy costs

Fixed tariffs lock the unit rate for the agreed term, making it easier to plan monthly spending (standing charges still apply).

Good for renters and movers

If you may move home, avoiding exit fees can reduce the hassle and cost of changing your tariff or supplier mid-term.

Useful hedge against market swings

If you’re worried about future increases, fixing can provide peace of mind—while the £0 exit fee keeps your options open.

Clearer comparisons

Comparing like-for-like fixed deals can make it easier to weigh unit rates, standing charges, contract length and payment method.

No “stuck” feeling

A £0 exit fee can reduce the risk of regretting a fix—especially if you’re fixing for the first time.

How fixed tariffs and £0 exit fees work in the UK

A fixed energy tariff usually means your unit rates (pence per kWh) are set for the contract term. Your bill can still change depending on how much energy you use and any changes to the standing charge if the tariff allows it.

An exit fee is a charge some suppliers apply if you leave the tariff early. With a £0 exit fee fixed deal, you can generally leave without paying an early termination fee. You may still need to provide final meter readings and settle any outstanding balance.

Important “£0 exit fee” refers to the tariff’s early exit charge. It doesn’t remove normal bill payments, standing charges, or any debt on your account.

Fixed vs variable vs tracker (quick comparison)

Tariff type	What changes?	Good for	Watch out for
Fixed (with £0 exit fee)	Unit rate fixed for a term; exit fee is £0.	Budgeting with flexibility to switch.	Standing charge and usage still affect bills; availability can be limited.
Fixed (with exit fee)	Unit rate fixed; leaving early may cost a fee.	Those comfortable committing for the term.	Switching mid-term can be expensive.
Variable	Rates can change (often in line with the market).	Flexibility and avoiding long contracts.	Less predictability; rates may rise.

Not sure which to pick? A common approach is to compare a 12-month fixed with £0 exit fee against the best available variable option, then decide whether the extra stability is worth it for your household.

How to spot the best fixed £0 exit fee deal (what to check)

1) Total cost, not just the headline rate

Unit rate (p/kWh) for gas and electricity
Standing charge (daily cost) which can vary by region
Any discounts that apply only for a limited period
Payment method differences (e.g. Direct Debit vs prepayment)

2) Contract length and end date

A longer fix can increase certainty, but you may miss lower rates later. With a £0 exit fee, you can often switch if the market improves—still, check the supplier’s terms on when you can start a switch.

3) Meter compatibility

Economy 7 and prepayment options can be more limited. If you have a smart meter, confirm whether the tariff supports smart readings and whether the supplier can enrol your meter.

4) Customer service and billing

“Best” isn’t only price. Consider billing accuracy, support hours, online account management, and whether readings are handled smoothly—especially if you’re switching from a legacy supplier.

Common mistake Choosing a tariff based on “£0 exit fee” alone. Always confirm the unit rate and standing charge for your region, because a higher standing charge can outweigh the benefit.

Eligibility and regional considerations

Where you live matters

Standing charges and unit rates vary by electricity distribution region. The best fixed £0 exit fee deal in one area may not be best in another.

Credit checks and payment types

Some tariffs are designed for Monthly Direct Debit customers. Prepayment options may exist but can have different pricing and availability.

Smart meters & Economy 7

If you’re on Economy 7, check both day and night rates. For smart meters, confirm the supplier supports your meter setup.

If you’re unsure what you’re currently on, you can still compare—start with your postcode and an estimate of your monthly spend, then refine results by meter type and payment method.

FAQs: fixed energy deals with £0 exit fees

Are there really fixed energy tariffs with no exit fees?

Yes—some suppliers offer fixed tariffs with £0 exit fees, but availability changes over time and may vary by payment method, region and meter type. Comparing whole-of-market helps you spot them when they’re available for your postcode.

Does £0 exit fee mean the tariff is always best value?

Not necessarily. The “best” deal depends on your usage and regional pricing. Always compare unit rates and standing charges, then consider contract length and supplier service.

Will switching interrupt my gas or electricity supply?

No. Switching supplier should not interrupt your supply. Your energy comes through the same pipes and wires; only billing and customer service change.

Can I switch if I’m in debt to my current supplier?

It depends. Some customers can switch while repaying, but rules vary (especially for prepayment meters). If you have a balance, it’s best to check options and settle any outstanding amounts where possible.

What information do I need to compare accurately?

A recent bill helps, but isn’t required. The most helpful details are your postcode, fuel type, meter type (standard/smart/Economy 7/prepayment), and an estimate of your monthly spend or annual usage.
