How does collective energy switching work?
| 1. Registration | 2. Auction | 3. Personal offer | 4. You decide | 5. Take control |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Registration: Registration is quick, free and there is no obligation to switch to the winning supplier. | 2. Auction: During the auction, suppliers compete to provide the best deal. The supplier who offered the cheapest tariff will get to offer you a new contract. | 3. Personal offer: Once the auction has taken place you will receive your personal offer and you can see how much money you can save. | 4. You decide: You will have approximately 4 weeks to decide if you would like to switch and if you do, iChoosr will take care of the entire switching process. | 5. Take control: You will be one of the thousands who have taken control of their energy costs through our collective energy switching scheme. |
