Energy Switch Inertia

I’ve just heard Paul Lewis on BBC Breakfast talking about some of the new rules to find the best energy deal. It sounds a real mess, which is all to the advantage of the Big Six.

I wrote Read This Article If You’re With The Big Six Companies, when I read a good article by Stewart Dalby, where he advocated self help.

Talking to a few friends who are still with the Dreaded Big Six, I’m convinced that the biggest problem is brain inertia and making the decision to switch.

But against this, I’ve never met anyone, who is dissatisfied with a small supplier after switching.

There are various methods, I’ve heard of where people found their new small energy supplier.

• Recommendation from a friend or someone they trust.
• One lady was pointed to her supplier by her doctor.
• From the consumer pages of a daily or local paper. One was even recommended by the Daily Star!
• I’ve seen one supplier advertised above urinals in a pub toilet.
• From a local councillor.

I chose my supplier, as I saw an interview with OVO’s founder in the Sunday Times. I liked what I read and as I still do, I have no reason to change!
