Compare Gas Prices

Gas prices vary depending on your location, usage, and the type of gas tariff you’re on. By using our comparison tool, you can quickly check whether you're on a good deal or if there's a cheaper energy supplier available in your area.

Run Regular Gas Comparisons

We recommend comparing gas prices at least once a year. Tariffs and market prices change regularly, and switching can help you avoid overpaying. This is especially useful if you're on a prepayment meter or a variable rate plan, where costs can rise unexpectedly.

Use Accurate Information

For the most accurate quote, use your annual gas usage in kWh, which you'll find on your energy bill or annual summary. This ensures the results reflect the right amount of gas you use and helps you find a more tailored plan.

Switching Is Simple

Once you choose a plan, we’ll take care of the rest — notifying your current and new suppliers. All you'll need to do is provide a regular meter reading when asked. If you’re on a smart card or smart meter, this may happen automatically.

How to Reduce Your Gas Bills

Saving on gas isn’t just about switching. You can take these extra steps to cut costs further:

• Install a smart meter – Track your usage and spot patterns that cost more.
• Upgrade old appliances – Older natural gas boilers and heaters often waste energy.
• Turn down your thermostat – Reducing by just 1–2°C can lead to noticeable savings.
• Pay by Direct Debit – Most suppliers offer discounts if you pay monthly via Direct Debit.
• Use online account management – Some suppliers offer extra savings for paperless billing.
• Check for extra support – You may qualify for schemes like the Winter Fuel Payment or a payment plan if you’re on a tight budget.

According to Ofgem, energy suppliers must provide bills that are clear and easy to understand. While layouts differ, your gas bill should always include:

• The name of your tariff and key details
• Whether you could switch to a cheaper tariff
• Your energy usage, usually in kWh
• The contract end date and any exit fees
• Contact details for your supplier

To make sure you're being charged the right amount, it's important to submit regular meter readings — unless you’re on a smart meter or smart card system that updates automatically. If you're on a prepayment meter, your bill may work differently, with top-ups tracked via a smart card or key.

Why It's Important to Compare Gas Prices

Gas prices vary between suppliers, and comparing them helps you find a good deal that matches your usage. Many people overpay simply because they haven’t checked the latest market prices or switched suppliers in years.

By running a comparison:

• You may find the cheapest energy supplier in your area
• You can access exclusive discounts or fixed tariffs
• You’ll discover better payment plans to help manage bills

For landlords, price comparison is especially useful — helping reduce overheads across multiple properties. And for households, the savings can quickly add up over a year.

If you haven’t reviewed your gas deal recently, now is the time to make sure you’re not paying more than necessary.

Saving Money on Your Gas Bill

When you compare gas prices, you’re more likely to find a good deal that fits your home’s usage and budget. With so many suppliers and tariff types available — including fixed, variable, and prepayment tariffs — comparing options is the easiest way to spot the cheapest energy supplier for your needs.

You may also unlock access to:

• Exclusive deals and promotions
• Support schemes like the Warm Home Discount
• Flexible payment plans or online-only discounts

Even small savings on your unit rate can add up to big differences across the year. By making sure you’re paying the right amount, comparison puts you in control of your energy bills.

When you regularly compare energy prices, it’s easier to spot the best overall deal and keep your energy bills under control across the year.

Finding a Reliable Gas Supplier

Price matters, but so does service. When comparing gas deals, it’s also worth checking each supplier’s:

• Customer reviews
• Billing accuracy
• Green energy options
• Track record for handling complaints

Whether you’re a household or a landlord managing multiple properties, switching to a reliable gas supplier means fewer headaches and better long-term value. That’s why comparing suppliers isn’t just about saving money — it’s about getting better service too.

Environmentally Friendly Gas Options

If you want to lower your carbon footprint, comparing gas prices also helps you find suppliers that offer green energy or natural gas from renewable sources. These environmentally friendly options support sustainability while still offering competitive pricing.

Some eco-conscious suppliers offset emissions, invest in renewable projects, or provide carbon-neutral tariffs. Comparing deals lets you choose a cheaper energy supplier that aligns with your values — without overpaying.

What Types of Gas Tariffs Can You Switch To?

When switching gas suppliers, there are three main types of gas tariffs to choose from:

• Fixed Tariffs – You pay a set price per kWh for a fixed period, protecting you from market price changes. These are ideal if you want stability and are available in limited numbers as prices settle.
• Variable Tariffs – Your price can go up or down in line with wholesale market rates. These may offer savings but carry some risk.
• Dual Fuel Tariffs – Combine gas and electricity into one deal. This can offer added convenience, potential discounts, and simplified billing.

Your choice will depend on your budget, usage habits, and whether you want payment plans, greener energy, or just the best deal available.

Knowing when your gas contract ends helps you avoid rolling onto a more expensive standard variable rate tariff. Here’s how to check:

1. Check your latest gas bill
   Most bills include the name of your gas tariff, your account number, and the contract end date.
2. Call your supplier
   Your energy provider can confirm your tariff details and advise on any exit fees if you switch early.
3. Watch for tariff end notifications
   By law, suppliers must tell you in writing when your deal is ending — usually between 42 and 49 days beforehand.

No — switching gas suppliers won’t interrupt your gas supply. All gas comes through the same pipes, so your service will stay on throughout the switch.

What About the Price?

When you switch, your new gas tariff may have a different unit rate or standing charge. That’s why it’s important to compare deals and understand whether you're on a standard variable tariff, fixed deal, or subject to the energy price cap.

What Is the Energy Switch Guarantee?

The Energy Switch Guarantee ensures that:

• Your switch will be completed within 5 working days
• There will be no disruption to your gas supply
• You’re protected if anything goes wrong

Handling Billing During the Switch

Switching suppliers involves a few billing checks:

• Final meter reading – Your current supplier will use this to generate your final bill. Make sure it’s accurate.
• Customer service – Read customer reviews of your new supplier to see how they handle billing issues.
• Standard variable rates – If you're moved onto one temporarily, check the terms and compare prices again soon.

Rest assured: switching is simple, safe, and designed to protect your service while helping you get a better deal.
