What is a no exit fee fixed energy deal?

A no exit fee fixed energy deal is a fixed-rate tariff where you can leave (switch supplier or change tariff) without paying an early exit charge. Your unit rates are fixed for the tariff term, but you can still move if prices drop or your circumstances change.

Are no exit fee fixed tariffs more expensive than fixed deals with exit fees?

Sometimes. Tariffs without exit fees may have slightly higher unit rates to reflect the added flexibility, but this varies by supplier and availability. Comparing total estimated annual cost (and your likely switching horizon) is the best way to judge value.

How do I know if a fixed deal really has no exit fees?

Check the tariff information label and key features: it should state “Exit fee: £0” (or similar). Also confirm whether any conditions apply (for example, fees may still apply for some business tariffs or special offers).

Can I switch away from a fixed tariff at any time if there are no exit fees?

Yes—if the tariff has no exit fees, you can generally switch at any time without an early termination charge. Normal switching timelines still apply, and you’ll pay for the energy you’ve used up to the switch date.

Will I lose my fixed rate if prices fall?

If wholesale prices fall, a new tariff may become cheaper than your current fixed rate. Choosing a no exit fee fixed deal can make it easier to switch to a better offer later because you’re not locked in by a penalty.

Is a no exit fee fixed tariff better than a variable tariff?

It depends on your priorities. A fixed tariff offers price certainty, while a variable tariff can move up or down with market changes. A no exit fee fixed option aims to combine certainty with flexibility—useful if you want stability but still want the option to switch quickly.

How can I compare no exit fee fixed energy deals on EnergyPlus?

Use the deals and supplier information on https://www.energyplus.co.uk to compare fixed tariffs that advertise no early exit fees. Focus on unit rates, standing charges, tariff length, and any eligibility criteria to find a deal that suits your usage.

What information do I need to switch energy tariffs?

Typically you’ll need your postcode, address details, and an estimate of your usage (or your current annual kWh). Having your current supplier and tariff name helps. If you have a smart meter, readings may be handled automatically during the switch.

How long does it take to switch energy supplier in the UK?

Most switches complete within a few working days, though timings can vary. Your energy supply won’t be interrupted; you’ll simply move billing to the new supplier from the agreed switch date.

Are there any reasons I might still pay a fee when leaving a no exit fee tariff?

You shouldn’t pay an early exit charge if the tariff is genuinely no exit fee. However, you may still need to settle any outstanding balance, and some suppliers may charge for optional extras (for example, certain add-ons) if you cancel them. Always read the tariff terms before switching.

Compare no exit fee fixed energy deals for your home

A fixed tariff locks in your unit rates (and often your standing charge) for a set term — for example 12 or 24 months. A no exit fee fixed deal removes (or reduces) the cost of leaving early, giving you flexibility if prices fall, you move home, or your circumstances change.

What counts as “no exit fee”?

By submitting, you agree we can use your details to provide energy comparisons and contact you about your results. You can opt out any time. We never switch you without confirmation.

Tip: Have a recent bill handy if you can. Your current tariff name, payment method and meter type can improve accuracy — but you can still compare without it.

Why choose a no exit fee fixed tariff?

Many households want the predictability of a fixed deal, but not the risk of paying to leave early. A no exit fee fix can suit you if you’re watching the market, expecting to move, or simply want flexibility without giving up the stability of fixed rates.

Flexibility if prices drop

If better fixed rates appear later, you can usually switch again without paying a termination charge (check the tariff terms).

Move home with fewer worries

Some suppliers let you transfer a fixed tariff, but not always. No exit fees can reduce the cost of changing supplier when you move.

Still get fixed-rate certainty

You can lock unit rates for a term while avoiding an early termination penalty — useful if you’re budgeting month to month.

Reduce “switching regret”

If you change your mind, you may be able to leave a fixed deal without paying a fee (and you also have a cooling-off period).

Helpful for uncertain usage

If your household size or working pattern changes, flexibility matters. Your unit rates are fixed, but your consumption may not be.

Keep options open

No exit fees can make it easier to switch to a greener tariff, smart tariff, or a better customer service provider later.

Important: “No exit fee” doesn’t always mean “no conditions”. Some fixed tariffs have restrictions (for example, certain payment methods, meter types, or online-only account management). Always read the tariff information label before choosing.

Quick comparison checklist

What to compare	Why it matters
Exit fees	Look for “£0” for both fuels if dual fuel. Some tariffs may have fees per fuel, or only in certain circumstances.
Unit rate (p/kWh)	This drives most of your bill. Compare electricity and gas separately if needed.
Standing charge (p/day)	A lower unit rate can be offset by a higher standing charge (especially for low-usage homes).
Fixed term length	Shorter fixes can be more flexible; longer fixes can provide longer certainty. No exit fee reduces the risk either way.
Payment method & meter type	Some tariffs are Direct Debit only, or don’t support certain meters. Your best available deal depends on compatibility.

What counts as a “no exit fee” fixed deal?

In UK household energy, exit fees (also called termination fees) are charges applied if you leave a fixed tariff before the end of its term. A no exit fee fixed deal typically lists £0 for leaving early. However, it’s still worth checking the small print to avoid surprises.

Check these tariff details

Exit fee amount per fuel (gas and electricity can differ).
When it applies (some tariffs waive fees near the end date).
Any product conditions such as online-only billing or Direct Debit requirements.
Price protection: what’s fixed (unit rates, standing charge, or both).
Smart / prepayment suitability if you have a specific meter type.

Common mix-ups to avoid

Variable vs fixed: a variable tariff with no exit fee is common, but it doesn’t lock your rates.
“No exit fee” vs “no standing charge”: these are different features.
Introductory discounts: check what happens after any initial period.
Dual fuel assumptions: confirm both fuels are on the same deal if that’s what you want.
Regional pricing: the same tariff name can price differently depending on your region.

When you can usually switch without exit fees anyway

If you’re currently on a fixed tariff, suppliers often allow you to switch without paying exit fees toward the end of your contract. The exact timing depends on your supplier and terms. If you’re unsure, compare now and plan your switch date.

Why deals vary by postcode (and why we ask)

Energy prices in Great Britain can vary by region due to differences in network costs and local distribution charges. That’s why a tariff that looks “best” nationally might not be best for your area.

Your meter type and payment method can also change what’s available. For example, some suppliers offer their sharpest pricing to Monthly Direct Debit customers, while others focus on smart meter tariffs.

Not sure what meter you have? That’s fine. Start the comparison and choose the closest option — you can refine later after checking your bill or meter display.

Household scenarios where no exit fee fixes shine

Renting or planning to move

Avoid paying to leave a tariff early if you move out before the term ends.

Watching the market

Lock a fixed rate now, with the ability to switch again if a better fix appears.

Budgeting tightly

Fixing can help make bills more predictable, while no exit fees keep flexibility.

Changing household size

If usage changes, you may want the option to switch without extra charges.

Common mistakes when choosing fixed deals with no exit fees

No exit fees are a great feature — but they don’t automatically make a tariff the best value. Use these quick checks to choose confidently.

Only comparing monthly Direct Debit

If you’re on prepayment or pay on receipt, ensure you’re comparing the right category — pricing and availability can differ.

Ignoring standing charges

A slightly lower unit rate can be offset by a higher daily standing charge, especially for low-energy households.

Choosing the wrong term length

Longer terms can be fine, but check what’s fixed and whether you’d rather keep your options open with a shorter fix.

Not checking meter compatibility

Some tariffs don’t support certain setups. If you have Economy 7, smart meters, or prepayment, confirm eligibility.

Assuming “no exit fee” means “best deal”

The best tariff depends on your usage pattern, region and preferences. Compare total estimated annual cost, not just one feature.

Forgetting your current contract dates

If you’re still mid-contract, make sure there truly are no exit fees (or that you’re within the fee-free switching window).

FAQs: no exit fee fixed energy deals

Are no exit fee fixed tariffs always cheaper?

Not always. Some suppliers price in flexibility. The best approach is to compare the estimated annual cost, unit rates and standing charges, then weigh the value of flexibility for your situation.

Will I pay exit fees to my current supplier if I switch?

If you’re on a fixed tariff, your current supplier may charge exit fees if you leave mid-term. Some suppliers waive them near the end of your contract. If you’re unsure, compare now and check your tariff end date.

Does “no exit fee” include moving home?

It often means you won’t pay a termination charge for leaving early, but moving home can involve different processes depending on supplier policy. Always review the tariff terms, especially if you expect to move during the fixed period.

Can I get a no exit fee fix with a prepayment meter?

Sometimes, yes — but availability can be more limited than for Monthly Direct Debit. Use the form to compare options suitable for prepayment where available in your area.

What’s the difference between a fixed deal and the price cap?

The Ofgem price cap limits the maximum rates suppliers can charge on standard variable tariffs in Great Britain. A fixed tariff can be above or below that level, and it locks rates for a term. Your best choice depends on available deals and your preference for certainty versus flexibility.

How quickly can I switch?

Switching times vary by supplier and circumstances, but it’s typically handled in the background. Your new supplier will confirm timings and ask for meter readings when needed.

If you have specific requirements (Economy 7, EV charging, heat pump tariffs or smart meter-only deals), start with the comparison form and we’ll show suitable options where available.
