Switching energy providers is a practical way for UK property owners to reduce operational costs, simplify management, and offer better services to tenants. Whether you are managing a single property or a larger portfolio, ensuring a seamless switch to a new energy supplier is essential.
National Power and Gas (often referred to as National Gas and Power) offers competitive energy tariffs across the UK. Here’s a full guide on how to switch your energy provider to National Power and Gas, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum benefit for your property investments.
Competitive Pricing: Attractive rates for residential and small business customers.
Simple Tariff Structures: Transparent billing that is easy to manage across multiple properties.
Direct Debit Convenience: Simplifies monthly billing and cash flow management.
Regulated Service: As an Ofgem-regulated supplier, they must meet UK standards for reliability and service.
However, before switching, it is crucial to weigh their strengths against their smaller market presence and mixed customer service reviews.
Review Exit Terms: Verify if you are tied to a fixed-term contract and check for any exit fees.
Notice Periods: Some suppliers require a 30-day notice if you are ending a fixed contract early.
Visit the National Power and Gas website and request a personalized quote.
Provide details like:
Postcode
Current energy consumption
Property type (residential or commercial)
Evaluate their fixed and variable rate offers.
Check for any incentives, such as discounts for Direct Debit payments or dual fuel bundles.
Complete the online signup or contact their sales team directly.
Provide property address details, tenant occupancy information (if applicable), and payment preferences.
By UK law, your new supplier will coordinate the switch with your current provider.
You do not need to contact your old supplier to end your contract unless you are within a fixed term with penalties.
Submit a meter reading on your last day with your old supplier.
This ensures you receive an accurate final bill and avoid disputes.
After signing up, you have a 14-day cooling-off period to change your mind without penalties.
Ensure that your first National Power and Gas bill reflects the agreed tariff and accurate start date.
Contact customer service immediately if there are any discrepancies.
Tenant Communication: Notify tenants about the switch if the energy account affects communal areas or includes utilities in the rent.
Portfolio Management: If you manage multiple properties, inquire about portfolio account options for consolidated billing.
Exit Strategy: Clarify early termination clauses in case you wish to switch suppliers again in the future.
