The process to compare your energy prices
It should be a fairly straight forward process to get quotes for your gas and electricity. However, some of the comparison sites have made this more complicated by asking for too much information!
The only personal information you should have to provide, is your postcode. The reason for this, is because the energy suppliers charge different prices for different regions. So when you enter your postcode, you are simply letting the comparison site know which price region you are in!
Overall verdict for Uswitch
I quite liked their comparison tool. But I still can’t get over the fact that Uswitch, had in the past, failed to give comparisons in the customers favour. They were more interested in promoting energy suppliers who were paying the most commission to them. Although they ask for other details such as your email address, it wasn’t necessary to give this in order to get a quote. I was quite disappointed that they didn’t show all of the cheaper energy deals though!

Do not use u switch. I used them to compare energy providers and the came back with very favourable dual fuel quotes, which I took up - 6 months down the line I have been stuck with a £400 bill, as even though I was quoted dual fuel, the price I was given and have been paying only covered electric! Everyone blaming eachother... None of it helps me! Useless!
