Securing a reliable energy supply is essential for maintaining property standards, ensuring tenant satisfaction, and protecting your investments. For UK property owners and managers, choosing and setting up utility services must be straightforward and efficient.
National Gas and Power is an independent supplier offering gas and electricity services across the UK. While they are not among the "Big Six" energy firms, they aim to offer competitive tariffs and flexible account options for residential and small business customers.
Here’s how property owners and investors can sign up for National Gas and Power — and what you should know before doing so.
National Gas and Power (sometimes referred to as National Power and Gas) specializes in simplified energy solutions with a strong focus on transparent pricing. They primarily target:
Residential customers seeking straightforward plans.
Small businesses looking for affordable energy options.
While not as large as British Gas or EDF Energy, they are Ofgem-regulated, ensuring compliance with UK energy standards.
Go to the National Gas and Power website.
Look for the section that says “Get a Quote” or “Switch Now.”
Provide information about your property type (residential or business).
Enter your postcode and current energy usage (you can estimate if necessary).
Select whether you want gas, electricity, or a dual fuel package.
National Gas and Power typically offer a small range of fixed and variable tariffs.
Carefully review:
Unit rates and standing charges
Contract length
Early termination fees (if applicable)
Complete the online form with your personal details (or company information for landlords and businesses).
Provide payment information (they generally require Direct Debit setup).
Once you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation email.
In line with UK consumer rights, you usually have a 14-day cooling-off period where you can cancel without penalty.
The supplier will coordinate with your current energy provider to handle the switch.
Typically, the switchover takes two to three weeks without service disruption.
Customer Reviews: Check recent customer feedback for service reliability updates.
Exit Fees: Understand any early termination fees if you change your supplier mid-contract.
Green Energy Options: If sustainability is a priority, note that National Gas and Power’s focus on renewable energy is limited compared to other suppliers like Octopus Energy or So Energy.
Billing and Payments: Ensure you are comfortable with their billing system, especially if managing multiple properties.
