How it works on our partner platform
1
Enter your postcode
Gas and electricity availability and pricing varies by region. Entering your postcode shows tariffs specific to your area rather than national averages.
2
Add your usage details
Annual kWh figures from a recent bill give the most accurate estimated costs. If you do not have them, the platform allows you to estimate by household size.
3
Compare and switch online
Review live tariffs ranked by estimated annual cost. If you choose a new deal, the switch is completed on the platform. Most switches complete within five working days.

Before you compare
Is the comparison secure?
You complete comparison and switching on our partner hosted platform. Utility Matchmaker does not store your tariff application on this site.
Can I switch gas and electricity together?
Yes. Most tools let you compare dual fuel or electricity only. Choose the option that matches your home.
Will I need Direct Debit details?
Many tariffs use monthly Direct Debit. The application form will ask for bank details if you choose that payment method.
Will comparison affect my credit score?
No. Comparing energy tariffs through the partner platform does not involve a credit check and has no effect on your credit score. Energy switching does not require a credit search for standard credit meter customers.
Can I compare if I have a prepayment meter?
Yes. Enter your postcode and select prepayment as your payment method on the partner platform. Tariff availability varies for prepayment meter customers but a range of options is typically shown.
