Question 1

Does switching to Utility Warehouse interrupt my energy supply?

Accepted Answer

No. Switching energy supplier never interrupts your supply. The Energy Switch Guarantee (backed by Ofgem) ensures a seamless transfer within 21 days, with your existing supplier's credit balance refunded within 10 working days.

Question 2

Do I need to bundle services to join Utility Warehouse?

Accepted Answer

You can join UW with just energy. However, UW's cheapest fixed tariff (Fixed Saver) requires at least two home services. Single-service customers go onto the Standard Variable tariff.

Question 3

How long does the Utility Warehouse switching process take?

Accepted Answer

The full switch typically takes 15–21 days from application. Your direct debit is set up immediately, but your actual supply transfer completes within the Ofgem-mandated 21-day window.
