If you’re tired of paying more than you need to for your gas and electricity, you’re not alone. Millions of UK households are unknowingly overspending on their utility bills simply because they haven’t switched in a while — or never have at all. That’s where MoneyHugs comes in.

Our utility switching service is designed to make it quick, easy, and hassle-free for you to compare utility providers and switch to a cheaper deal tailored to your needs and your postcode. Whether you’re coming off a fixed-rate tariff, stuck on a pricey standard variable rate, or simply unsure what you’re currently paying, utility switching with MoneyHugs can help you take back control of your household budget.

Why Utility Switching Matters

Energy prices are constantly changing, and loyalty rarely pays. In fact, many people end up on what's known as a “default” or “standard variable tariff” — one of the most expensive options — after their fixed deal ends. The result? You could be spending hundreds of pounds more per year than necessary.

Utility switching is the process of moving from your current gas or electricity provider to a new one offering a better deal. It doesn’t mean changing your pipes, wires, or meters — just your billing arrangements. Your energy supply stays uninterrupted, and the whole process is far smoother than most people expect.

With MoneyHugs, you can easily compare utility rates, view your options side-by-side, and switch to a cheaper provider with just a few clicks. No pressure. No confusing paperwork. Just meaningful savings made simple.

How Utility Switching Works with MoneyHugs

We’ve stripped away the jargon and built a customer-first process focused on saving you money:

1. Enter Your Postcode
   Utility prices vary by region. By entering your postcode, we can show you deals available in your exact area — no guesswork, no generic results.

2. Tell Us a Bit About Your Usage
   Don’t worry if you don’t have all your bills in front of you. We can estimate your usage based on national averages or previous customer trends. Of course, if you do know your kWh usage or current monthly spend, that’ll help refine your results further.

3. Compare the Latest Deals
   Instantly see a list of gas, electricity, and dual fuel tariffs from trusted UK suppliers. View prices, contract lengths, renewable energy options, exit fees, and more — all side-by-side in a simple, transparent format.

4. Make the Switch
   Once you’ve chosen the right deal, switching takes just minutes. You’ll never be without power, and there’s no need to contact your old supplier — your new one will handle everything for you.

Benefits of Switching with MoneyHugs

• Save Hundreds Per Year: Switching to a cheaper tariff can lead to major annual savings, especially if you haven’t reviewed your deal recently.

• 100% Free to Use: There are no fees for using MoneyHugs to compare or switch. Our revenue comes from partnerships with suppliers — but this never impacts the deals we show you.

• Tailored to Your Postcode: We only show results relevant to your region and meter type.

• Trusted Providers: We work with established and reliable energy suppliers, including those offering green and renewable tariffs.

• No Disruption: Switching is seamless. Your gas and electricity supply remains uninterrupted, and you’ll experience no downtime or engineering visits.

• Green Energy Options: Many of the tariffs we display offer 100% renewable electricity and carbon offset gas for eco-conscious households.

Who Should Switch?

• Renters and Homeowners: If you pay your own energy bills, you can switch.

• Those Out of Contract: If your deal has ended, you're likely on a standard rate and overpaying.

• Fixed-Tariff Customers: If your fixed deal is ending in the next few months, you can arrange a switch ahead of time.

• People New to Utility Switching: Even if you’ve never switched before, the process is simple and fully supported.

Don’t Let Loyalty Cost You

Sticking with the same provider for years might feel like the “safe” option — but it’s often the most expensive. Suppliers rarely reward loyalty, and better deals are frequently reserved for new customers.

Utility switching is one of the fastest, easiest ways to reduce your cost of living — especially during times when every pound counts. And with MoneyHugs, you’ve got a trusted partner to help you do it confidently and effortlessly.
