What Electricity Tariff Am I On? (And How to Check You’re on the Right One)
If you’re not sure what electricity tariff you’re on, you’re far from alone — most people couldn’t name their tariff, let alone…
Provide a few details about your home and get a free, personalised plan including the cheapest time-of-use tariffs, the upgrades worth making, and the next actions to take.
Tell us about your home — heating, equipment, your current setup and how you use energy — and we build a tailored plan in three layers: quick wins like switching to a smarter tariff, next steps and behavioural changes, and longer-term equipment upgrades. As you tick off actions, or your circumstances change, the plan updates — so your home keeps getting more efficient over time.
We compare time-of-use tariffs — including the 38 deals most comparison sites leave out — to find the cheapest fit for how and when you actually use energy.
Your plan is not a one-off PDF. It evolves as you act, as your home changes, and as new tariffs and technology arrive — to help you keep optimising and saving energy.
We have been entirely independent since 2010 — not owned by an energy supplier, funded by one, or steered by one. We exist to help households understand and choose the energy-saving products and smart-home technology that genuinely save money and cut carbon.
Our vision is a world with a stable atmosphere, where everyone has access to clean, affordable energy and fuel poverty is history.
