Why look for cheap gas & electricity suppliers?
Energy is one of the biggest regular costs for UK households. Many people stay with the same supplier for years and end up on expensive standard variable tariffs. By switching to a cheaper gas and electricity supplier, you can often save hundreds of pounds a year without changing the way you use energy.
Lower monthly bills
Cheap energy suppliers offer more competitive unit rates and standing charges, reducing your direct debit or quarterly bills while keeping the same level of service.
More tariff choice
From fixed-rate deals that protect you from price rises to flexible variable tariffs, you can choose a plan that fits how and when you use energy.
No disruption to supply
Your gas and electricity are delivered through the same pipes and cables. Only your billing and customer service change, so your energy supply is never interrupted.

What makes a gas or electricity supplier “cheap”?
A cheap gas or electricity supplier is not just the one with the lowest headline price. At EnergyPlus we look at a range of factors to help you find genuinely good-value deals:
- Low unit rates (price per kWh) and competitive standing charges
- Tariffs that match your usage pattern – low day rates, Economy 7 or time-of-use where suitable
- Discounts for paying by direct debit or managing your account online
- Reasonable exit fees or no exit fees on flexible plans
- Solid customer service ratings and clear, simple billing
We focus on suppliers that balance low prices with reliability and support. A tariff that looks cheap upfront but comes with confusing terms or poor service may not be the best option for you in the long run.
Typical features of cheap UK energy suppliers
- Online account management and app-based meter readings
- Paperless billing and email notifications
- Smart meter support for accurate billing
- Competitive dual fuel discounts
- Simple, transparent pricing structures
Cheap dual fuel, gas-only and electricity-only deals
Cheap dual fuel suppliers
Dual fuel tariffs give you gas and electricity from the same supplier, often at a discounted combined rate. This can make it easier to manage your account and may unlock the cheapest overall bill for many households.
Cheap gas-only tariffs
If you have electric-only heating or already get cheap electricity from another provider, switching to a low-cost gas supplier can still cut your overall energy spend.
Cheap electricity-only deals
All-electric homes or properties with solar panels may benefit more from specialist cheap electricity tariffs, including options tailored to off-peak or EV charging.
Is it safe to switch to a cheap supplier?
Yes. In the UK, all gas and electricity suppliers must be licensed and regulated. If a supplier ever stops trading, your supply will continue and you will be moved to a new provider automatically. Your gas and electric stay on throughout the process.
When you switch through EnergyPlus, we only work with reputable, properly regulated companies. You continue to receive the same energy through the same network – the only change is who sends your bill.
- No engineer visits required in most cases
- Meter readings are easily submitted online
- Cooling-off periods on most new contracts
- Clear communication from your new supplier
What you need to switch
To switch to a cheaper gas or electricity supplier, it helps to have:
- Your postcode and current supplier details
- A recent energy bill with your tariff name and consumption (kWh)
- Bank details if you want to set up a direct debit
Even if you do not have a bill to hand, you can still get an indicative comparison using estimated usage based on your household size and property type.
