How can I compare British Gas with other UK energy suppliers?


Most gas and electricity suppliers, including British Gas, represent a good deal for certain households, according to how much gas or electricity you use and the region you live in.

The best way to find out if a supplier (including British Gas) is going to suit your needs and save you money on your bills is to know your usage of energy. SimplySwitch has developed a free and impartial gas and electricity comparison calculator to help you find the best deal. Suppliers' rates and tariffs differ depending on the amount of energy you use and where you live. The calculator can estimate your usage based on the size of your property and other factors, but having a recent bill to hand is always a good idea as it will give us a much clearer picture of your gas and electricity usage.

I currently use British Gas Dual Fuel to supply my energy – can I compare dual fuel tariffs with SimplySwitch?


Absolutely! – the SimplySwitch energy comparison calculator allows you to find the best tariff for you whether you currently receive your gas and electricity on an British Gas Dual Fuel tariff or separately on different tariffs or energy suppliers.
