Switching to a new energy supplier requires a lot of research. It can be challenging to understand different tariffs and complex terms and conditions of the contracts. While it is possible to do the comparison and make the decision yourself, using a broker will make this process easier and quicker. There are several reasons why people turn to energy brokers.

  1. Saving money - brokers look at prices offered by multiple energy providers and show you the best ones. In addition to analysing the unit prices, they take into consideration all other charges included in the contract so you can be sure you get the cheapest offer available.
  2. Saving time - looking for the best offer and comparing energy prices yourself can take up a big part of your day. Using a broker saves you the hassle of doing all that. Brokers also fill in all the paperwork for you letting you avoid spending hours completing forms and signing documents.
  3. Good market knowledge - brokers know all the energy suppliers that operate in the energy industry. They also know what prices are considered to be competitive. If you are looking for a new energy deal yourself you will most likely focus on just a few providers. Brokers will offer you a big selection of different suppliers making sure you switch to the one that best matches your requirements.
  4. The right contract - using a broker will help you avoid being automatically put on the Rollover contract that not only includes very high rates but also might mean you won’t be able to change it for at least a year. Brokers will explain to you what types of contracts are available and will help you choose the most flexible one with the best prices.
  5. Impartiality - brokers do not work for any specific UK gas and electricity supplier. They look at deals from all providers operating in the market and do not prioritise any of them. That’s why if you use their services you can be sure the deal suggested by them actually is the best.
  6. Analysing all elements of the deal - most people look at unit prices when they are thinking of switching energy suppliers. Why rates are a very important element of each deal, there are other things that need to be looked at like the length of the contract. Brokers analyse all aspect of available offers to make sure you don’t get stuck with something you’re not satisfied with.
  7. Lower energy consumption - nowadays many people switch to renewable energy sources. Using a broker allows you to find the best green deal available. Moreover, brokers offer advice on how to lower your emission and manage your energy consumption.
