Why compare energy?
Every year your personal situation and preferences change. In addition, energy prices change throughout the year as well. If you want to find the best energy deal that fits your situation the most, it is important to check the energy prices every year to see if you still have the best deal.
The second reason to switch is because you can save a lot of money. This is because every year energy suppliers have a big welcome discount for new customers. So when you switch every year, you benefit from these discounts. The financial benefit can be as high as hundreds of euros a year so it is definitely worth it!

Step 4: Relax and save
That is it! You have switched from an energy supplier. The whole process will take on average about 6-8 weeks.
What information do I need to switch energy supplier?
You need 2 things to make a precise comparison:
- a recent energy bill;
- your zip code.
If you don’t have your recent energy bill at hand, you can still compare energy with the estimation tool in our comparator. This tool makes an estimation of your energy usage based on your address and family composition.
Our final tip: compare energy every year
To make sure you pay as little as possible, the best thing to do is to switch energy suppliers every year. This allows you to benefit from the welcome discount every time and you will never pay too much. So, what are you waiting for? Compare energy suppliers and find your best deal!
