Compare UK gas tariffs for your home

Compare gas deals for your home — start with a quick form

If you’re on mains gas, your unit rate (price per kWh) and standing charge can vary widely by tariff and supplier. EnergyPlus helps you compare domestic gas tariffs across the market and find a deal that suits how you heat your home.

Complete the form and we’ll use your postcode and contact details to progress your comparison and switching enquiry. If you’re not sure about your current tariff or annual usage, don’t worry — you can still start, and we’ll help you fill the gaps.

Looking for both fuels? You can still begin here and choose dual fuel later during the comparison.

Whole-of-market view

Compare a broad range of domestic suppliers and tariff types, so you can choose based on price, stability, and features — not guesswork.

Clear tariff detail

We focus on what matters: unit rate, standing charge, contract length, exit fees, payment method, and whether prices can change.

Switching support

If you’re unsure how switching works, we’ll guide you through the steps and help you avoid common issues like incorrect meter details.

Built for UK households

Our comparison is designed for home energy users across England, Scotland, and Wales, including regional tariff differences.

Fast, simple start

A short form is enough to begin. You can refine details as you go — useful if you don’t have a bill to hand.

No disruption to supply

In a standard supplier switch, your gas keeps flowing. Your physical meter usually stays the same (unless you request a change).

Fixed vs variable: what’s the difference?

What happens when you switch gas supplier?

1. Compare available home gas tariffs for your postcode and preferences.
2. Choose the tariff you want to move to (fixed/variable, term, payment method).
3. Confirm your details. Your new supplier handles the switch process.
4. Provide a meter reading around the switch date so final/first bills are accurate.
5. Start saving — you’ll be billed by your new supplier going forward.

In most cases there’s no interruption to supply. You’re changing who bills you, not the pipes delivering the gas.

Unit rate (p/kWh)

What you pay for the gas you use. Households with higher usage are more sensitive to the unit rate.

Standing charge (p/day)

A daily charge to keep your home connected. Lower-usage households often feel standing charges more.

How you pay

Direct Debit, receipt of bill, or prepayment can influence prices and available tariffs.

Contract length & fees

Fixed tariffs may include exit fees. Always check the term and any early termination charges.

Your usage pattern

Heating schedules, insulation, boiler efficiency, and occupancy affect consumption more than most people expect.

Region & network

Availability and standing charges can vary by region, which is why postcode-based comparison matters.

Before you switch

• Check if you’re in a fixed term and whether exit fees apply.
• Have a recent bill handy if you can — it may include usage in kWh and your current rates.
• Confirm you’re comparing home energy (domestic) tariffs.
• If you have a prepayment meter, note that tariff availability may differ.

During and after the switch

• Take a meter reading when requested (or on the switch date).
• Keep an eye on your first bill to ensure readings and dates align.
• If you’re paying by Direct Debit, check the amount and review it after the first bill.
• Store your confirmation emails and tariff details for reference.

Will my gas supply be cut off if I switch?

No — in a standard switch your gas keeps flowing. You’re changing the company that bills you. An engineer visit is not normally required for a like-for-like switch.

How long does a gas switch take?

Timeframes vary by supplier and circumstances, but many switches complete within a few weeks. You’ll normally receive updates and a supply start date.

Do I need my MPRN to compare gas tariffs?

Not always. Your postcode and basic details are enough to start an enquiry. If needed, we’ll help you locate additional information from a bill later.

Is it cheaper to get dual fuel (gas + electricity)?

Sometimes, but not always. Some households save with dual fuel for convenience and pricing; others do better by choosing the best supplier for each fuel separately.

What if I’m on a prepayment meter?

You may have fewer tariffs available compared to Direct Debit. We can still help you compare options that support prepayment where available.

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

It depends on the circumstances and supplier policies. Tell us what you know when you enquire and we’ll guide you on the practical options.

What’s the difference between kWh and m³ on my bill?

Your meter may record volume (m³/ft³), then your supplier converts it to kWh for billing. Comparisons usually use kWh because it’s consistent across meters.

Do you compare business gas?

This page is for home energy only. If you need business energy, you’ll require a separate comparison designed for business meters and contracts.
