About this deal
If you have never actively picked an electricity tariff, you are almost certainly on the local Grundversorgung, the default supply your grid operator hands out automatically. It is the safety net nobody chose, and it is nearly always the most expensive rate on the market. A comparison portal like CHECK24 exists to fix exactly that: you type in your postal code and yearly consumption in kilowatt hours, and it lists the tariffs actually available at your address, sorted by real annual cost.
The switch itself is genuinely quick. CHECK24 handles the paperwork with your old and new provider, and by law your power never gets cut off during the change. Many households moving off the default tariff save a meaningful chunk over a year, sometimes a few hundred euros depending on usage and region.
Best for
- People still on the default Grundversorgung who have never switched
- Anyone who wants one place to see every local tariff at once
- Households happy to re-check once a year
Honest caveat: the cheapest results often owe their ranking to a fat first-year Neukundenbonus that disappears in year two, after which the price can jump. Read the price guarantee, the contract term and the cancellation notice before you sign, and set a reminder to compare again before the bonus expires. Filtering for tariffs without a long lock-in is usually the calmer long-term choice.
