How do I find the best local energy tariffs for my UK postcode?

Enter your UK postcode on our local energy tariffs page and we will compare live deals from multiple suppliers in your area. We show you unit rates, standing charges and estimated annual costs so you can quickly see which tariff could save you the most money. You can then switch online in a few minutes.

Are local energy deals really different depending on my postcode?

Yes. Energy suppliers often set different prices based on your region and local distribution network, so two postcodes can have very different standing charges and unit rates. By using a postcode-based comparison, you only see the tariffs that are actually available at your address, including any local or regional offers.

Will checking tariffs for my postcode affect my energy supply or my credit score?

No. Checking local energy tariffs for your postcode on our site is completely risk-free. We perform a soft eligibility check that does not affect your credit score and it does not change your current supplier or tariff until you decide to complete a switch and confirm your new plan.

How accurate are the estimated savings shown for my postcode?

Our savings estimates are based on the usage details you provide, typical consumption data for similar UK households and live tariff information from suppliers that serve your postcode. While your actual bills may vary depending on your usage and future price changes, the estimates give a realistic guide to which local tariff is likely to be cheapest for you right now.

What information do I need to compare local energy deals in my postcode?

To get the most accurate comparison, have your postcode, current supplier, current tariff name, whether you pay by direct debit, prepayment or on receipt of bill, and an idea of your annual usage or monthly spend. If you do not know your usage, we can estimate it for you using Ofgem typical consumption figures for homes in your region.

Can I switch to a local green or renewable energy tariff in my postcode?

In most UK postcodes there are multiple green and renewable tariffs available. When you enter your postcode, you can filter results to show only green energy deals, including 100% renewable electricity and carbon-offset gas options. We highlight tariffs that use certified renewable sources so you can lower your carbon footprint without overpaying.

How long does it take to switch to a new local energy deal?

The online sign-up usually takes less than 10 minutes. After that, the actual switch is handled for you by your new supplier and normally takes around 5 working days under the faster switching rules in Great Britain. There is no interruption to your energy supply during the process and your electricity and gas continue to come through the same local network.

Are there any fees or exit charges when I change to a new local tariff?

There are no fees from us for switching through our service. Some fixed-term tariffs may have exit fees if you leave before the end date. When you compare deals for your postcode we clearly show any exit fees, contract length and terms so you can decide whether the savings outweigh any potential charges.

Types of home energy tariffs available in UK postcodes

Different households need different types of energy tariffs. Whether you want predictable monthly payments or the flexibility to move at any time, there is usually a local option that fits. Here are some of the most common home energy tariffs you may see when you compare by postcode.

Fixed-rate tariffs

Fixed-rate tariffs lock in your unit rate (the price per kWh) and standing charge for a set period, typically 12–24 months. Your bill will still vary with usage, but the price you pay per unit of energy will not change during the fixed term.

Good for: budgeting and protection from short-term price rises.

Variable tariffs

Standard variable tariffs can go up or down with wholesale energy prices and regulatory changes. They are usually the default tariff you move to once a fixed deal ends.

Good for: flexibility if you plan to switch again soon.

Dual fuel tariffs

Dual fuel tariffs bundle your gas and electricity with the same supplier. This can make billing simpler and may offer small discounts.

Good for: households that want both fuels with one supplier.

Green and renewable tariffs

Green tariffs support renewable energy generation, such as wind and solar. Depending on the tariff, some or all of your electricity may be matched with power from renewable sources.

Good for: reducing your home's carbon footprint.

How to save on your home energy bills

Comparing local tariffs is one of the easiest ways to make sure you are not overpaying for energy, but there are also a few simple steps you can take to keep your bills under control once you have switched.

Submit regular meter readings (or get a smart meter) so you are billed for what you actually use, not estimates.
Choose the right tariff type for how you use energy – heavy evening users may benefit from off-peak rates.
Pay by Direct Debit where possible, as many suppliers offer discounts for this payment method.
Improve insulation and efficiency with LED lighting, draught-proofing and efficient appliances.
Review your tariff regularly and check your postcode for new local deals every 6–12 months.

What affects energy prices in your postcode?

Even within the same city, the rate you pay can differ by postcode. Suppliers look at a range of factors when setting local home energy tariffs, including:

Regional network and distribution costs
Typical home sizes and demand in your area
Supplier competition in your postcode
Government price caps and regulations
Wholesale gas and electricity market prices

Using a postcode-based comparison makes sure these local factors are taken into account when you look for a better deal.

Frequently asked questions about local home energy tariffs

Do energy tariffs really change by postcode?

Yes. The UK is divided into different gas and electricity regions, each with its own network costs. Suppliers factor these into their pricing, which is why the same tariff name can have slightly different unit rates and standing charges in different postcodes.

Will my gas or electricity be cut off when I switch?

No. When you change supplier, the physical gas pipes and electricity cables to your home stay exactly the same. Your new and old suppliers coordinate the switch date so there is no break in supply.

How long does it take to switch home energy supplier?

Once you have chosen a new tariff and completed the online application, most home energy switches complete in around 5 working days under the Energy Switch Guarantee, although this can vary. You will receive confirmation and final bills from your old supplier.

Do I need a recent bill to compare tariffs?

A recent bill is helpful because it shows your current tariff and energy usage, which lets us estimate savings more accurately. However, you can still compare and switch using approximate information about your property and typical usage if you do not have a bill to hand.

Can tenants switch energy supplier?

If you pay the energy supplier directly, you usually have the right to choose your own tariff, even if you rent. If energy is included in your rent and paid by your landlord, you may need to speak with them about any changes.

Are there green home energy tariffs in every postcode?

Coverage varies, but many suppliers now offer renewable or partially renewable tariffs across most UK regions. Once you enter your postcode, we can show you which green options are available for your home.
