Moving into your first home is very exciting but equally stressful. There are a few essential things you should have on your moving checklist. One of them is to sort out your energy supply. Here’s what to do:
Find out who the current energy supplier is – if you’re moving into a new build property, you should be able to find out from the developer. For other homes, you can find out from the previous owners or estate agent.
Take a meter reading as soon as you start to move in ­– this ensures that you can be billed accurately when you decide to switch energy. There will be a period when you take ownership of the property to your switch date where you will need to pay the supplier for energy used. You will also want to do this to avoid any potential debt from the previous owner.
Compare and switch energy supplier – you will likely be able to find an energy deal better suited to your needs. Comparing energy is the best way to save money and cut costs on your utilities.
