In general switching business gas suppliers is pretty straightforward, however a switch is only possible if you meet one of the following criteria:
- You’re on ‘deemed rates’: These rates/tariffs are applied following a change of tenancy (COT), so if you’ve recently taken over a new premise without agreeing a prior contract its likely you are on a ‘deemed tariff’, which is usually more expensive.
- You’re fixed term contract has ended: If you previously had a fixed term contract, your existing supplier should have reached out with a renewal offer. If you did not take this up and have let the contract expire you will be on their out of contract rates, which again are usually more expensive.
If you’re business meets either of the above criteria you are free to explore the market and find an alternative supplier.
Its important to note that you can switch providers up to 12 months in advance of your contract end date, however the new contract will not come into place until after the original contract ends.
