Energy tariffs ending in April: switch now!


Updated on 14 April 2015 | 0 Comments

Switch today and avoid your energy bill increasing!

Eight fixed energy tariffs come to an end at the end of April, so thousands of households need to move quickly to avoid seeing their bills increase.

When a fixed tariff comes to an end, the supplier will move you onto their standard tariff. These are almost always the worst tariffs on offer; the prospect of moving onto the standard tariff should be the spur to get you to shop around for a new deal.

In fairness, of the eight energy tariffs coming to an end this month, two of them will actually see customers spend less by moving onto the standard tariff, as the table below explains.
