Know your current tariff

Check if you're on a fixed deal or the variable tariff covered by the Ofgem price cap.

Compare fixes

A fixed deal may cost more or less than the cap over time. Compare the estimated annual cost.

Exit fees

Check exit fees before switching from a fix.

Rules change

Ofgem reviews the cap every three months, and it limits the unit rates and standing charges, not your total bill. Check the latest figures on Ofgem's site.
