Before using any switching site, you should read the advice from EnergyWatch and OFGEM below.
Some sites are not totally impartial as they receive an incentive for recommending one supplier above another.
To ensure you get accurate comparisons, make sure you have some recent bills to hand, at least 3 months, 12 months is better.

The Utility Warehouse is NOT an energy supplier .. they are simple a bunch of 'middle man' who will charge you an arm & a leg for 'advise' of dubious worth..
If you want a better deal, visit a price comparison dsite (eg confused. com) and then go direct to the REAL suppliers (such as Scottish Power etc) web sites.
They all have web sites and you can sign up direct with them yourself .. usually it's worth going for a 'Dual Fuel' deal (both Gas & Electric from the same people) because you can get decent discounts (also for Direct Debit & on-line a/c management = no paper bills)
Do Your Own Research (DYOR) == only the very rich and very poor pay others to manage their Financial affairs.

Please avoid them like the plague!!! A woman at work conned me into switching to them, they are expensive, they charge you 75p a min for any technical queries, they left us without a phone for a month AND I was pregnant at the time, we moved house and they tried to charge us £150 for the privilege of cancelling their crap service. Also, their calls work out so much more expensive and their broadband package is useless. Basically, it is a referral service and its the person who introduces you that makes commission for the length of time you are a member.
