Frequently Asked Questions

Can I switch energy providers if I owe money?

If you owe money to your current energy provider, you may still be able to switch to another provider. However, you will need to pay off any outstanding debts before you can switch. Your new provider may also require you to pay a security deposit or agree to a payment plan before they can supply you with energy. It’s important to check the terms and conditions of your current contract before you switch to avoid any penalties or additional charges.
