About Energy Review
Page last reviewed and updated: 29th August 2025
We’re here to help you switch energy suppliers with total confidence.
If you’ve ever tried to switch, you’ll know it can be confusing. With so many suppliers, tariffs, and ratings, it can feel like a bit of a minefield, and it’s hard to know who to trust.
I created this website after getting frustrated with that exact problem. I realised there was no single place that gave simple, clear answers on which suppliers were any good and why, using real data you could check for yourself.
Think of us as the perfect partner to use with price comparison sites. They show you the cheapest deals, but we give you the real story on what a supplier is actually like to be with.
How We Review: Real Research, Not Opinions
To make our reviews as helpful and accurate as possible, we dig into the data from lots of trusted, official sources. This helps us build a complete and honest picture of every supplier.
Each review is based on hours of careful research, including:
- Official Surveys: We check the results from big consumer names like Which? and Citizens Advice to see how happy customers are over time.
- Real Customer Feedback: We look at thousands of reviews from real people on sites like Trustpilot and the App Store.
- Official Regulator Data: We check the official complaints data from the UK’s energy regulator, Ofgem, to see how suppliers handle problems.
- Price Checks: We run our own price comparisons using the same checklist for every supplier to check for good value and clear pricing.
- Website Checks: We go through each supplier’s website to see how easy it is to use and if their promises stack up.
We always link to our sources where we can, so you can be confident in our work. You can find out more about our process on our methodology page.
We get our information from trusted names like:
