We are fully accredited under the Ofgem Confidence Code, meaning that our results tables are always ordered by the savings a customer can make in a fair, independent and unbiased way. We are fully supportive of Ofgem’s decision to strengthen the code to ensure that all price comparison websites operate to the same high standard.
Customers have the clear option to compare plans across the whole energy market on our site. We do not pre-select a default answer when giving them this choice, nor do we in any way influence what they should select.
Our mission is to help consumers save money on their energy bills. Last year alone we saved them £143 million. Our service is free to use and the majority of customers visit the website to simply compare prices and gather information. We also offer free advice and support through our call centre to those unable to go online, helping those in greatest need to save money.
Price comparison websites have played a crucial role in stimulating competition by enabling new, smaller providers to challenge the dominance of the big six energy companies, driving down prices and improving customer service. It’s important that consumers have the reassurance of using a website that is accredited by Ofgem to compare energy tariffs.”

About us
It’s all about “U”!
Thank you for indulging us over the last 20 years by using a small ‘u’ and a big ‘S’ when writing about our brand in your articles.
We are delighted to let you know that you are now off the hook - it’s big U’s all the way (and small s’s) as we undertake our biggest ever rebrand - so let your autocorrect go wild!
