Switch with Which? and cash in by Christmas

To be on a cheaper tariff by the time the cold weather hits, people need to take ten minutes to switch now, says switchwithwhich.co.uk, the energy switching site from consumer charity Which?

Mike Stevenson, Head of Marketing at Which? says:

“Using switchwithwhich.co.uk it takes just ten minutes to compare suppliers and switch online. People who have switched through the service are currently enjoying average savings of over £200 per year on their energy bills.*

“While your bit’s quick and easy, once you’ve set the train in motion it’ll take the providers 6-8 weeks to finalise your switch. So do it now, and you’ll be on your new tariff when the winter weather really kicks in.

“There are some great deals to be had at the moment. In the last week alone, British Gas and Scottish and Southern Energy have reduced tariffs twice in a battle to become Britain’s cheapest energy supplier.”
