Moving your Energy supply to your new house.

Moving House can be an exciting time, maybe you've bought your first house, moved in with your partner, or are moving your family to a new area. There’s always a lot to organize, and your energy supply is one of the most important - yet often overlooked.

Simply call Switchme’s energy price comparison service on 0800 179482 and we will complete a move-in switch request for you and advise you how to then request a reconnection. Typically, a technician can be onsite within a few hours and reconnecting will only take a few minutes.
