Cheapest online energy providers

Search: Switch energy suppliers

The energy costs of running a home run into hundreds of pounds a year, and more, for most households.

Therefore finding a cheaper supplier can mean big savings, and if you're prepared to go without bills through the post and run your account online, you'll get an even better deal.

However, even if you're happy with your current supplier, you should stay on your toes as the different tariff types most offer these days means that not doing so could cost you cash.

For example, existing British Gas customers languishing on the standard tariff have been left behind, paying an average £82 more than those on the new 'Click Energy 3' tariff.

This applies to all customers with any of the UK's leading providers. Here are the savings you can make for a household with average gas and electricity useage by taking out the purely online agreement (figures provided by online comparison site Moneysupermarket.com and correct as at 1.8.07):
