Switch to Energy First

Energy First is one of the UK’s most innovative energy suppliers. We were the first energy

supplier in the country to offer smart meters free of charge to our customers. These

computerized meters submit automatic electricity

readings

for once an hour and once daily

for gas. This information goes directly to the customer’s online account, allowing them to

view and monitor energy usage. By understanding how much money they are spending on

energy, we strongly believe that people can take control of how much energy they use and

make significant savings to their monthly bills.

If you want to benefit from our smart meters, all you have to do is make us your energy

supplier. Switching is simple. The first step is to click the ‘show prices’ button below to

compare our tariff with that of your current provider.

If you decide to go ahead, apply using our simple online form. We’ll handle the rest, and

keep you regularly updated with the progress. There’s no need to contact your current

supplier.

If, within 7 days of submitting your form, you change your mind about switching energy

suppliers, don’t worry. We give you a 7-day cooling-off period during which you can cancel

your application with no penalty.

It will take approximately 5 weeks for us to complete the process of transferring you to our

supply. A week before your supply goes live, we will email you to confirm a start date.

Once you have become a customer, you’ll be contacted over the phone by a local installer to

arrange a convenient time to fit your smart meters. You will need to be at home when these

are fitted. Once they are installed, you can check your energy use online. Until then, you can

submit monthly readings online in order to obtain an accurate bill.
