BBC News has an article on switching energy supply:

More than four million people switched their electricity or gas supplier last year, energy regulator Ofgem has said.

Cutting their annual bills by around £150, the number of people changing their energy provider in 2006 was 750,000 higher than in 2005.

Personally when I switched energy suppliers, I actually found my bills went up (despite both uswitch.com and Scottish Power saying I would save money), but also the level of service was abysmal.

So much so I switched back.

Generally you only really save money if you are not using direct debit, online meter readings, dual fuel supply.

Often you don't even need to switch if you start adding those aspects to your current supplier and can start saving money.

Key thing to remember what is more important to you, pricing or service?
