We care to explain.
When can I switch my energy supplier?
In principle, you can switch your energy supplier at any given moment. However, we recommend that you always respect your initial contract term of 1 or 3 years. The promotion you enjoyed at the start is often linked to how long you remain a customer. When you make the switch, you must take a notice period of 30 calendar days into account. Private customers are not charged a cancellation fee.
Can my company switch energy supplier?
As an SME or self-employed entrepreneur, you can always switch to a different energy tariff or energy supplier. A prerequisite is that you are an annually metered customer; as long as your company receives an annual final invoice and pays monthly advances, there is no problem. However, if your company has a monthly or hourly read meter, you should check your energy contract, as stricter cancellation conditions apply, as stipulated in your energy agreement.
Do I have to monitor energy prices myself every month?
Not really, you can do this, but you should not. Tell us your current energy supplier, and how long you have been a customer. From then on, we will keep an eye on everything for you. You will receive an e-mail and/or text message as soon as it is time to check your energy bill again.
What do I have to do to switch energy supplier?
Switching your energy supplier is very easy and takes less than 5 minutes. All you have to do is give them your name, address and your meter number. The new energy supplier will then automatically contact your former energy supplier to arrange the administration and switch.
Should I use the same supplier for gas and electricity?
You are completely free to choose 2 different energy suppliers. Yet most customers do opt for 1 energy supplier for dual fuel, because it is just a little bit easier for your own administration.
Do I have to be at home when I switch energy suppliers?
No, because switch your energy supplier is purely an administrative change. An energy switch does not involve any physical changes to your meter. One month you will receive an energy bill from supplier X, and the next month from supplier Y. You'll never be left without electricity or gas.
How do I best compare energy suppliers?
Most people compare their energy supplier purely on the basis of price, every year you can change energy supplier and enjoy the lowest energy price or the highest discounts. In addition, our energy simulation tools give you the possibility to filter results on contract type, contract period, extra services, payment methods, and many more features.

What is a single or day and night counter?
There are 2 types of energy meters (for private individuals).
With a single meter, your meter consists of 1 measuring instrument. All your consumption, whether during the day or night, is recorded on that same instrument. You pay the same price per kWh, regardless of the moment.
With a day and night meter, there are 2 meters. One registers your consumption during the day (usually between 6h-22h) and the other registers all your consumption at night. The price at night is lower than the price you pay during the day. This is why it is best to use 'big' power consumers, such as washing machines and tumble dryers, only at night.
