When looking at gas suppliers, there are a few kinds of gas tariffs available to consider. Each has their own merits, but it's important to know which suits you best.
Fixed-Price Gas TariffsWhen you’ve got a fixed-rate tariff, the gas cost-per-unit stays the same throughout your contract. It protects you against price rises but means you won’t benefit from price drops. |
Variable-Price Gas TariffsWith Standard Variable Rate tariffs (STVs), the cost-per-unit goes up and down according to the wholesale market price of gas. It’s what you’re moved to when a fixed rate ends and these days it’s very expensive. |
Pre-Paid TariffsWith a prepaid meter, you pay for your gas in advance with a token, card or app. Cost-per-unit can be dearer than with a standard meter, but it can make it easier to budget. |

Switching suppliers doesn’t affect your gas supply. Your gas gets to your property in the same way, whoever your supplier is.
Unless you switch supplier before the end of your current contract, there’s no fee. If you find a new deal that’s a lot better than your current tariff, what you save might compensate for any early exit fee.
Check your gas bill to confirm who your supplier is. If you’ve just moved house and aren’t sure, ask the estate agent or previous owner. Failing that, contact your regional Distribution Network Operator (DNO).
Under the energy switch guarantee, if you encounter any problems while switching supplier (which is unlikely), the new provider will work quickly and efficiently to resolve it. If you change your mind about switching within 14 days, it’s fine to stay with your old supplier.
If you use gas and electricity, a dual tariff can be simpler because it means you only receive one bill. Sometimes it’s cheaper to include your gas in a dual tariff, but sometimes it’s cheaper to keep it separate. Our comparison tool will clarify this for you too.
