Get fixed no-exit-fee options
What makes a deal “best” for you?
The best fixed deal isn’t always the lowest unit rate. It’s the tariff that fits your annual usage, has a competitive standing charge for your region, and gives you the flexibility you want (such as no exit fee).
Why choose a fixed tariff with no exit fee?
Fixed tariffs can protect you from short-term price rises, while a no-exit-fee feature helps you avoid being locked in if a better option becomes available. Here are the main reasons households look for fixed energy deals with no exit fee in the UK.
Flexibility if prices drop
If the market moves down, you can switch without paying an early termination fee (subject to the tariff terms).
Less risk when moving home
Planning a move? No-exit-fee deals can reduce the risk of a charge if you leave the tariff early.
Budgeting without the lock-in
You still get predictable pricing for the fixed period, but with a simpler exit if your needs change.
Good for first-time switchers
If you’re unsure about committing, no-exit-fee fixed deals can feel like a safer first step.
Supports active tariff management
If you like reviewing your energy regularly, avoiding exit fees can make switching more cost-effective.
Transparency on tariff terms
Checking for an exit fee forces a clearer look at the tariff’s full detail (rates, charges, and conditions).
What to check before choosing a no-exit-fee fixed deal
“No exit fee” sounds simple, but tariff terms can still vary. When comparing fixed deals, focus on total cost and the conditions that affect you day to day. Use this checklist to compare like-for-like.
Tariff detail that changes your bill
- Standing charge: can differ significantly by region and supplier.
- Unit rate (kWh): check electricity and gas separately (or electricity-only if you don’t have gas).
- Tariff term: 12, 18, 24 months and beyond—longer terms aren’t always better.
- Payment method: Direct Debit vs Pay on Receipt can change pricing.
- Meter type: smart meter, standard, Economy 7, or prepayment can affect eligibility and price.
Exit-fee wording to look for
- Early termination charge: should state £0 (or “none”) if it’s truly no exit fee.
- Cooling-off period: you typically have a short window after agreeing to switch; terms vary.
- Special conditions: some offers may limit fee-free exits to certain circumstances—always read the tariff info.
- Renewal rules: understand what happens at the end of the fixed term (often you move to a standard variable tariff unless you switch again).
Tip: If two tariffs look close, compare the annual estimated cost for your usage rather than focusing on unit rate alone. A slightly higher unit rate can be offset by a lower standing charge in your region.
How to switch to a fixed no-exit-fee deal
Switching energy for your home is usually straightforward. Here’s what the process looks like when you compare fixed deals with no exit fees through EnergyPlus.
- Share your postcode and contact details so we can find tariffs available in your area and help you compare accurately.
- Confirm your household setup (gas & electricity, electricity-only, meter type, and typical usage if known).
- Review fixed deals where the supplier states there is no exit fee, alongside the unit rates and standing charges.
- Choose the tariff that fits your budget and flexibility needs. If you proceed, your new supplier handles the switch.
- Your supply stays on; there’s no interruption to your gas or electricity during the switch.
Common reasons “best deal” results change
Region: standing charges and rates vary across UK distribution areas.
Meter type: Economy 7 and prepayment options can have different prices and availability.
Usage: low-use and high-use households benefit from different standing charge vs unit rate trade-offs.
Compare fixed no-exit-fee deals: the numbers to look at
When suppliers advertise a “fixed deal”, the practical cost comes down to a few lines on the tariff information label. This table explains what each item means and how it affects your household bill.
| Tariff item | What it means | Why it matters for “best deal” |
|---|---|---|
| Unit rate (p/kWh) | Price you pay per kWh of gas/electricity used. | High-usage homes are more sensitive to unit rates. |
| Standing charge (p/day) | Daily fixed charge regardless of usage. | Low-usage homes often benefit from lower standing charges. |
| Fixed term | How long the prices are fixed (e.g. 12 months). | Choose a term that matches your risk appetite and plans (e.g. moving house). |
| Exit fee | Charge for leaving before the term ends. | For this page’s goal, look for tariffs that clearly state £0 / no fee. |
| Payment method | How you pay (e.g. Direct Debit). | Some suppliers offer better pricing for certain payment methods. |
| Meter type | Standard, smart, Economy 7, or prepayment. | Tariff availability and pricing can change by meter type. |
If you’re on a standard variable tariff (SVT): a fixed deal can give more certainty, but the “best” option depends on your region and usage. Comparing with your postcode is the quickest way to narrow it down.
Regional considerations (why your postcode matters)
Energy prices in the UK aren’t identical everywhere. Your electricity network region and gas distribution area can influence standing charges and unit rates. That’s why the same tariff name can show different costs depending on where you live.
Examples of what can vary
- Standing charges due to network cost differences.
- Availability of certain tariff types in specific regions.
- Economy 7 pricing for homes with off-peak electricity needs.
- Prepayment options and plan eligibility.
What we use your postcode for
- To match you to the correct regional rates.
- To ensure the estimated costs reflect local standing charges.
- To confirm which suppliers and tariffs are available for your home.

Common mistakes when searching for “no exit fee” fixed deals
These pitfalls can make a tariff look better than it really is. Avoid them and your shortlist will be much stronger.
Comparing unit rates only
Standing charges can outweigh small unit-rate differences, especially for low usage.
Not checking meter type
Economy 7 and prepayment tariffs differ—make sure you’re comparing the right category.
Assuming “no exit fee” is universal
Always confirm the tariff information states £0 exit fee (and check for any conditions).
Ignoring the end-of-term plan
Know what happens when the fix ends—many households switch again to avoid drifting onto a higher tariff.
Overlooking payment method pricing
Direct Debit may price differently to Pay on Receipt; confirm what you’ll actually use.
Not factoring usage changes
New baby, home working, or heat pump? Your usage profile can shift the best option.
FAQs: fixed energy deals with no exit fee
Are there really fixed tariffs with no exit fee in the UK?
Yes, some suppliers offer fixed tariffs that state a £0 early termination charge. Availability changes over time and can differ by region, meter type, and payment method, so it’s best to compare using your postcode.
Does “no exit fee” mean I can switch any time for free?
It usually means there is no early termination fee charged by the supplier if you leave before the end of the fixed term. Other factors can still apply, such as final bill timing and the supplier’s terms. Always read the tariff information and key terms.
Is a no-exit-fee fixed tariff always better than a standard variable tariff (SVT)?
Not always. A fixed deal can offer predictability, but whether it’s better depends on the rates in your region, your household usage, and how long you plan to stay. Comparing the estimated annual cost is the most reliable approach.
Will switching affect my supply?
No—your gas and electricity supply continues as normal during a switch. The process is administrative, and your new supplier coordinates it.
What if I don’t know my energy usage?
That’s common. You can still start with your postcode and basic details. If you have an old bill, your annual consumption (kWh) makes the comparison more accurate, but it isn’t always required for an initial shortlist.
Do no-exit-fee deals exist for electricity-only homes?
Yes, depending on supplier availability in your region. Electricity-only homes should compare based on electricity unit rate and standing charge, and ensure the tariff aligns with their meter type (standard, smart, Economy 7, or prepayment).
