Compare the best £0 exit fee fixed energy deals available for your home
A £0 exit fee fixed tariff is designed to give you price certainty for a set period while keeping flexibility if you need to leave early. Suppliers can change whether they offer £0 exit fees, so the most accurate way to find the best option is to compare using your postcode and household details.
EnergyPlus.co.uk is a whole-of-market comparison service for UK households. We’ll help you weigh up:
- Unit rates (p/kWh) for gas and electricity
- Standing charges (p/day), which can vary by region
- Fix length (e.g. 12, 18 or 24 months)
- Exit fees (we’ll flag tariffs with £0 exit fees where available)
- Payment type (Direct Debit vs pay on receipt) and smart/prepay meter eligibility
Tip: The “best” deal isn’t always the lowest headline price. A low unit rate paired with a high standing charge can cost more depending on your usage. Comparing with your real usage (or an estimate) is the most reliable method.

Why households choose £0 exit fee fixed deals
Fixed tariffs can bring predictability. A £0 exit fee version (when offered) adds flexibility—useful if you might move home, expect market changes, or simply don’t want a penalty for switching again.
Flexibility without the fee
If rates fall or your circumstances change, you can usually leave a £0 exit fee fix without paying an early termination charge (terms still apply—always check the tariff details).
Budgeting made easier
Your unit rates are fixed for the term, helping you plan. Bills still depend on usage, but price changes during the fix won’t affect your per-unit cost.
Clear comparisons
Fixed deals are easier to compare than tariffs that track future pricing. You can weigh unit rates, standing charges, and the end date side by side.
What does “£0 exit fee” actually mean?
An exit fee (sometimes called an early termination fee) is a charge a supplier may apply if you leave a fixed tariff before the end of the contract. A £0 exit fee fixed deal means there is no such penalty for leaving early.
However, always read the tariff summary. A few common points to check:
- Whether £0 applies to both fuels on dual fuel
- Whether £0 applies for the whole term or after a certain date
- Any other fees (rare, but some tariffs have conditions)
Exit fees vs switching rules
In many cases, you can switch a fixed tariff without paying exit fees in the last 49 days of the contract (often called your switching window). If you’re outside that window, a £0 exit fee tariff can remove a potential barrier to switching.
If you’re moving home, you may be able to take your tariff with you, depending on the supplier and meter compatibility.
How to spot the best £0 exit fee fixed deal (not just the cheapest headline)
When you’re comparing fixed tariffs with no exit fees, focus on total expected cost for your home. Small differences in standing charges and regional rates can outweigh headline savings.
| Check | Why it matters | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Exit fee | Some fixes charge per fuel if you leave early; £0 exit fee avoids a penalty if you switch again. | Confirm it’s £0 for gas and electricity (if dual fuel) and for the entire contract. |
| Unit rate (p/kWh) | This drives the cost of your usage. Best for high-use homes to prioritise. | Use your annual kWh from your bill if possible; otherwise estimate. |
| Standing charge (p/day) | You pay it regardless of usage; can make a “cheap” tariff costly for low-use homes. | Compare across suppliers in your region; don’t ignore it. |
| Fix length | Longer fixes can lock in rates; shorter fixes can be more flexible if the market changes. | Choose a term that matches your plans (e.g. tenancy length, moving timeline). |
| Meter & payment type | Some deals are limited to smart meters, credit meters, or Direct Debit customers. | Be honest about your setup so results are accurate and switchable. |
Good to know: Energy prices and tariff availability can change quickly. Comparing “this month” is best done using live results rather than relying on static lists.

Submit meter readings and keep an eye on your first bill
Accurate opening readings help avoid billing issues and reduce estimated charges.
Common questions before you switch
- Will my supply go off? No—your gas and electricity keep flowing; only the billing changes.
- Can I switch if I’m in debt? Sometimes; it depends on the supplier and your meter type.
- Does £0 exit fee mean no costs at all? It means no early termination charge; you still pay for energy used.
- Is a fix right for me? It depends on your risk preference, budget stability needs and future plans.
Eligibility and factors that affect £0 exit fee fixed tariffs
Where you live
Unit rates and standing charges vary by region and network area. That’s why “best UK deal” is different in Cornwall vs Cumbria.
Your meter type
Smart meters, standard credit meters, Economy 7, and prepayment meters can each have different tariff options and pricing.
Payment method
Direct Debit tariffs can be cheaper than pay-on-receipt in some cases. We’ll consider options that match how you want to pay.
If you rent: You can usually switch energy supplier if you pay the bills, but check your tenancy agreement and ensure your landlord isn’t responsible for the account.
Common mistakes when choosing a £0 exit fee fix
1) Only looking at the monthly estimate
Monthly estimates can be sensitive to usage assumptions. If you can, use your annual kWh from your latest bill to compare like-for-like.
2) Ignoring standing charges
Low usage homes are hit hardest by high standing charges. A slightly higher unit rate can still win overall.
3) Assuming “£0 exit fee” means “risk-free”
You’re still entering a contract with a fixed unit rate. If the market drops, you may pay more unless you switch again (which is why £0 exit fees can be helpful).
4) Choosing the wrong term length
If you’re likely to move or your household use may change, consider a shorter fix or prioritise flexible terms.
FAQs: £0 exit fee fixed energy deals
Are £0 exit fee fixed energy deals always available?
Not always. Suppliers may offer £0 exit fees on some fixes and not others, and availability can change. The most reliable way to see what’s available this month is to run a live comparison for your postcode and meter type.
Can I get a £0 exit fee fixed tariff on a smart meter or Economy 7?
Often yes, but it depends on supplier coverage in your region and your meter configuration. Some tariffs are specifically designed for smart meters; Economy 7 tariffs can differ significantly due to day/night rates.
Is it better to choose dual fuel?
Not automatically. Dual fuel can be convenient and sometimes cheaper, but separate suppliers can occasionally win on total cost. Compare both options using your usage and standing charges in your area.
Will I need to contact my current supplier?
Usually, no. When you switch, the new supplier typically handles the process. You should still provide accurate meter readings when requested, and keep an eye on your final bill and any credit balance.
What if I’m currently on a fixed tariff with exit fees?
Check your contract end date and any exit fee amount. If you’re within the final 49 days of the contract, you can often switch without paying exit fees. If not, we can still compare deals and help you judge whether switching now is worth it.
