The energy bill has become higher and higher in recent years, and that does not make anyone happy. This is partly due to the rise in energy rates, but taxes on energy bills are also rising sharply. You can save a lot of money by switching to another energy supplier. You are almost always cheaper than if you extend your current energy contract. Energy suppliers often offer new customers attractive discounts. Here we list five advantages of comparing energy.
You can save money
Changing to another energy supplier is almost always cheaper than if you extend your current energy contract. That's because when consumers switch, they force energy suppliers to compete with each other. That leads to lower prices. Energy suppliers also often offer new customers extras. These are, for example, extra low rates, (welcome) discounts, savings or gifts. So in the end you save considerably on the monthly costs.
You will find the cheapest suppliers in one overview
There are many energy suppliers in the Netherlands with so many different energy contracts that it is difficult to make a choice. If you use an energy comparator, you can see in one overview which energy supplier is the cheapest and most advantageous. You also immediately see what your welcome discount is, and the estimated annual savings. You do not have to approach each energy supplier separately to see which supplier comes out on top.
It's simple and fast
Besides that comparing energy is simple, it also takes less of your time than if you would manually compare all energy suppliers. All you have to do is enter the (estimated) annual consumption, your address and your current supplier, and you will see the result of your comparison in one click. Besides, who knows all the energy suppliers!
The prices on a comparison site are unique
The prices that can be found on comparison sites are in many cases cheaper than the prices that you find when you go directly to the website of an energy supplier. The energy suppliers now also know that many people are going to compare energy, and therefore offer high discounts to rank high in the comparator. In addition, the energy specialists of the comparison sites negotiate with the suppliers to arrange the best energy deals.
