Is it right for me?
Essentially, if you’re prepared to run an online account and pay by direct debit then this is the right deal for you. Click Energy 6 is the cheapest tariff across all the major suppliers.
If you currently don’t pay by direct debit, you’re missing out on potential annual savings. We recommend switching to this payment method.
If you’re currently on a standard offline tariff then you should take advantage of the discounts Click Energy 6 offers and transfer to an online account.
If you’re not terribly confident at dealing with online accounts or taking your own meter readings then this deal is definitely one to avoid, although the savings you could make if you took the plunge are considerable.
Don't forget
Click Energy 6 is only available to customers with credit meters
Refusal to switch to paperless billing and direct debit will result in charges at the standard variable offline tariff
Discounts may be removed if bills are not paid on time
