Taking your gas and electricity online means you’ll be able to take advantage of some of the most competitive deals on the market as well as being able to access your account at the touch of a button.

Find out if you could save money on your energy bills by comparing online energy tariffs...

In addition to being able to change payment details any time you want via your online account, you’ll also stop receiving paper bills. Instead, you’ll be emailed when your payment is due. You’ll also have to enter your own meter readings - eliminating the need to wait around for an engineer, or run the risk of over-paying on an estimated bill.

Both paperless billing and online meter readings save your energy supplier a lot of money - savings that can then be passed on to you and also cut down the amount of wasted paper.

So by switching to a paperless, online tariff where you pay by monthly direct debit, you’ll be able to take advantage of the biggest discounts and make the biggest savings.
