Came across this site whist researching for another subject , they are one of many new low cost agents offering to connect customers to Cheaper Electric and Gas bills via the Utility Warehouse. There are other agents but this one caught my eye.

www.betterbills.net

They say on thier page :-

The Utility Warehouse Discount Club is owned by Telecom Plus PLC, with a current turnover of over £278 million they are listed on the London Stock Exchange. The Utility Warehouse currently supply over 300,000 homes and businesses throughout the UK and provide their members with great value, great savings and the best possible customer service. Perhaps it’s not surprising that in a recent survey, over 94% of Utility Warehouse customers said they would recommend them to a friend.

You may not have heard of the Utility Warehouse Discount Club before, as they do not advertise. Instead, they rely on satisfied customers letting their friends and family know about the great value services they deliver. The Utility Warehouse are very different to other suppliers. They don’t have any high street shops and their systems are very efficient. And because (unlike their competitors) they don’t waste money on expensive advertising campaigns on TV or in the National Press, they can afford to charge their customers less than they do for the same services. The Utility Warehouse don’t do introductory offers to entice new customers that suddenly go up in price after a few months. All their members benefit from consistently good value and great customer service at all times, for as long as they remain a customer.

Betterbills.net is an independent authorised distributor for Utility Warehouse and Telecom Plus products and services.

Reasons to Switch your Gas & Electricity

Frequently Asked Questions.

What details do I need to switch my gas & electricity?
Most people can switch using just their postcode and a few basic details – such as how much they spend or how much energy they use (if you don’t have this information to hand you can still switch using our usage estimator).

Please note: if you’d like to switch to a direct debit tariff, you will need to fill out the DD form online with your bank details.  Rest assured our web pages are secure, and your details will be encrypted and held securely.

In a very small number of cases you may need to know your gas or electricity meter number, which you can find on an old bill or the meter itself.

What is a gas meter (or MPRN) number and how do I find it?
Your MPRN (Meter Point Reference Number) is the unique identifying number of the Gas meter at your property.  It is a 10 digit number, sometimes referred to as an “M” number, and can be found on your gas bill (generally on the back of the bill).
What is an electricity meter (or MPAN) number and how do I find it?
Your MPAN is the unique identifying number of the Electricity meter at your property.  It is often referred to as a “Supply Number” or “S” number, and it can be found on your electricity bill (generally on the back of the bill).  If you can’t locate your number, you should contact your current electricity supplier. We have a system on the site which looks up your meter number automatically in most cases.
How does the process for transferring suppliers work?
Check against the suppliers and tariffs shown on the results table, and remember you can search by price, service rating and green credentials.

Once you have chosen a supplier,fill in the forms ( often online ) and within a month you will be given a supply transfer date by your new supplier.  On this day you should take a meter reading and submit it to your new supplier.  They will contact your old provider so they can arrange a final bill and close your account.

Will there be any interruption to my supply?
No, there will be no interruption whatsoever.  There is no need to change any meters, wires or pipes – your new supplier will use the same ones as your old one.  The only changes that you will notice will be a lower bill and / or improved customer service from your new supplier.

Do I need to contact my old provider to switch to a new supplier?
No, your new supplier will organise the entire switching process.  You should, however, ensure that your new supplier receives a final meter reading from you so that they can organise a bill and close your existing account.

If I want to switch to a Direct Debit tariff do I need to have my bank details?
No, in some instances you can request a paper DD form which will be sent to you by your new supplier.  You can then fill out your bank details and return it to them in your own time.  We recommend that you complete Direct Debit forms on energyhelpline.com as it will save you time, and the details are received and held securely.

I’m not sure who my current supplier is, how do I find out?
Check any recent bills – your supplier’s name will be on there, probably at the top.  Otherwise, to find out who your current gas supplier is, you can contact the Meter Point Number Helpline on 0870 608 1524.  To find out who your current electricity supplier is, you can contact your landlord or letting agency or your regional electricity supplier eg. London Electricity – you can find their phone number in the phone book, on the web, or from directory enquiries.
