Saving energy by switching gas and electricity providers
Summary: How to save energy and money by switching gas and electricity providers
Why Switch Your Energy Supplier?
With the current economic situation, both gas and electricity markets have changed substantially. The big six energy suppliers have recently announced their price cuts with new products being designed regularly to offer the best possible deals for consumers. A great way to help stop climate change is to change to an electricity supplier that sells green energy.
Switching is easy and simple, it is completely free to change utility supplier and your new supplier will organise the entire switching process with no interruption to your supply during this process whatsoever. The only changes that you will notice will be lower bills, a greener conscience and / or improved customer service from your new supplier so, it is now more worthwhile than ever before to switch your energy supplier to a product that suites your individual needs.

The first online service of its kind from an energy company, the Carbon Account lets you calculate your household’s emissions by looking at your home, your energy consumption, and other lifestyle habits, and then measuring the impact of any changes you make.
Not only that, it offers simple, cost-effective tips and advice that could help you reduce your emissions. What you can't reduce, you can neutralize (or 'offset') by planting trees that reabsorb or by investing in projects that cut down emissions, such as those which use renewable energy sources through our partnership with Future Forests.
