Verivox Gas Compare

About this deal

If you have never actively chosen your gas supplier, there is a good chance you are sitting on the basic tariff and paying for the privilege. That default supply is convenient, and convenience is exactly what it charges you for. Verivox is a neutral comparison portal built to break that habit by showing you, plainly, what everyone else in your postcode is offering.

The appeal here is independence and clarity. You type in your postcode and annual consumption, and Verivox returns a transparent, ranked list of gas tariffs sorted by what you would actually pay across the year. Because it draws from a wide provider list rather than pushing a single house brand, it is a solid tool for sanity checking whether your current deal is fair or quietly overpriced. Switching is straightforward and your supply is never interrupted, since only the billing company changes.

Good to know before switching

• Have last year's bill handy so you can enter accurate kWh rather than guessing
• Compare total annual cost, not the per unit rate in isolation
• Check the minimum term and cancellation notice so you are not locked in longer than you want

One honest caveat. The cheapest results are frequently bonus driven, and that new customer discount is usually a first year sweetener. Once it lapses, the ongoing price can rise noticeably, sometimes to a level you would not have chosen fresh. The fix is simple discipline. Diarise your contract end date the moment you sign, and come back to compare again before it renews. Used that way, once a year, a portal like Verivox turns an overlooked bill into steady, low effort savings.
