Gas Comparison

About this deal

The single most expensive gas tariff most people ever pay is the one they never chose. When you move into a flat and do nothing, you land on the local basic supply tariff, the Grundversorgung, and that default is almost always one of the priciest options on the market. Millions of German households quietly overpay every winter simply because switching feels like admin they can put off.

CHECK24 exists to make that switch a ten minute job. You enter your postcode and your yearly consumption in kilowatt hours, which you can read straight off last year's bill, and the portal lists local gas tariffs ranked by real annual cost. The savings against the basic tariff are often in the hundreds of euros, and the switch itself is handled for you. Your gas keeps flowing the whole time because the pipes and the supply never change, only the company that bills you.

Before you click switch

• Use your actual kWh from last year, not an estimate, so the ranking reflects your real usage
• Read the tariff details, not just the top line price, especially the term and price guarantee
• Watch how the bonus is credited, since many cheap tariffs lean heavily on a one off first year bonus

The honest caveat is baked into how these deals are built. A tariff that looks unbeatable in year one often relies on a new customer bonus and can climb sharply after the initial price guarantee ends. Treat gas as a yearly habit. Note your contract end date, and when the cheap period is over, run the comparison again and switch a second time. That is where the real, repeatable savings live.
