How collective switching works
If you need a refresher on how collective switches work, don't worry - it's easier than it sounds.
Sign up with your email address
Collective switch deals aren't available on the open market. If you sign up, we can send you the details of the deals directly, and you can also see them when you run an energy comparison.
We send you the collective switch deals
Once the switching window opens, you can run an energy comparison as normal with the collective switch deals visible in the results table. You can see the cost of the deals and your potential savings if you were to switch to one of them.
Complete your switch
If you decide to switch to a collective switch deal, the process is exactly the same as normal. Under the Energy Switch Guarantee, switches should be complete within 21 days without any supply interruptions.

Got questions about this offer?
Find the answers to the main queries you might have about our collective switch offer here.
What is a collective switch?
A collective switch refers to a group of consumers getting together via a third party to sign up to a specific, discounted (usually exclusive) energy deal from a gas and electricity supplier.
What happens to my existing energy deal?
If you switch to a collective switch deal, you'll be switching away from your existing energy deal. If you're on a fixed deal, remember that you may have to pay exit fees if you're not inside the final 49 days of your contract.
When will my new energy deal begin?
Under the Energy Switch Guarantee, which most suppliers in the UK are signed up to, switches must be completed within five working days with no supply interruptions.
How can I remove myself from the collective switch?
As a Uswitch customer, you automatically have access to our collective switch deals, but you're not obligated to switch supplier or respond to the offer. If you don't want to do anything, you can simply not switch to one of the collective switch deals (which will be highlighted in our results table).
You can also click on the "unsubscribe" link in any emails you've received about the Great Energy Savings Switch. This will unsubscribe you from emails about the Great Energy Savings Switch, but you will still receive our regular marketing emails.
