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!
