HOUSEHOLD ENERGY GUIDE
Utility Warehouse: tariffs, bundles and switching
One provider for several household essentials. Here’s what to know about Utility Warehouse’s energy options, service bundles and the checks to make before you switch.
What is Utility Warehouse?
Utility Warehouse, often called UW, is part of Telecom Plus, a UK multi-service business. Alongside gas and electricity, it offers broadband, mobile and home insurance, with the option to bring services together in one bill.
Its appeal is the convenience of managing several essentials with one provider. Whether it works out cheaper for you depends on your current contracts, energy use and the bundle you choose.
What kinds of tariffs are available?
Fixed tariffs
A fixed tariff holds your unit rates and standing charges for an agreed term. Your total bill still depends on how much energy you use. Check the contract length, smart-meter requirements and any exit fees.
Variable tariffs
Rates can change over time. MoneySuperMarket describes UW’s variable tariff as priced below the energy price cap and without exit fees. Check the current rates for your region and meter before choosing.
Electric vehicle tariffs
An EV tariff can offer lower overnight electricity rates for charging. Compare both the overnight and daytime rates, and check the eligible charging hours and meter requirements.
Tariff availability, rates and eligibility can change. The energy price cap is not a cap on your total bill: what you pay also depends on your usage.
Switch multiple services to save
Taking gas and electricity from the same supplier can make bills easier to manage. UW also offers bundles that combine energy with other services, including broadband, mobile, home insurance and boiler cover.
MoneySuperMarket notes that UW’s strongest offers can depend on taking multiple services. Before switching, compare each part of the bundle with what you pay now. Include cancellation costs, broadband speeds, mobile coverage and insurance cover in your decision.
What are Free Energy Days?
Free Energy Days are promotional credits towards an energy bill, rather than unlimited free electricity or gas for a day. MoneySuperMarket’s guide describes offers for eligible new customers taking multiple services through a partner, and for existing customers adding services.
The credit value, number of days and qualifying services depend on the offer. Check the current promotion and its terms before signing up; don’t assume that every bundle qualifies.
How to switch energy provider
- 1
Decide what matters
Think about price, flexibility, customer service and how you use energy. You may want a new supplier or simply a different tariff.
- 2
Check your existing contract
Find your current tariff, annual usage and contract end date on a recent bill. Check whether leaving a fixed deal would incur an exit fee.
- 3
Compare the whole deal
Look at unit rates, standing charges and any extra services you would need to take. Compare the total household cost, not just a headline offer.
- 4
Apply to your chosen supplier
Your new supplier normally manages the switch. Review the terms and your cooling-off rights before agreeing.
- 5
Complete the handover
Provide a meter reading when requested and check your final bill. If your old account is in credit, check that the balance is returned.
- 6
Know your rights
Keep confirmation of the switch and your readings. If something goes wrong, check the current rules on delays, refunds and compensation.
