Flipper is more than a price comparison website. Instead of simply listing the energy deals available to you, it will locate the best deal and automatically switch you to it.
Flipper searches the whole market and doesn’t accept commissions from energy suppliers, so you can be confident of being “flipped” to the most competitive deal.
The service saves customers an average of £385, without them having to lift a finger.
Flipper saves you time and money by continuously auto switching (Flipping) you onto the best energy deals.
Flipper
During the registration process, you’ll be shown how much money Flipper could save you by switching providers.
If it’s more than £50 (after exit fees are considered), Flipper will begin the switching process as soon as registration is completed.
Regardless of whether you’re switched immediately, Flipper will check the market every two weeks for better deals, ensuring you’re always on the most competitive deal.
You’ll receive an email to confirm a “flip” is taking place. If you’d prefer to stay with your current provider, get in contact with Flipper within 14 days of receiving the email.
You’ll pay £30 for an annual membership, but this isn’t charged until Flipper saves you at least £50. Your membership auto-renews after 12 months, but you can opt out at any time.
Enter your postcode on the Flipper homepage to get started. You’ll be asked if you want to switch electricity or gas and electricity.
From there, enter some basic details about your energy tariff and how much you currently spend. You can estimate this if necessary.
At this point, Flipper will show you how much you could save by completing the sign-up. It’ll just take the entry of a few personal details in order to complete your registration and start the “flip”.
Flipper’s automated switching supports standard single rate and Economy 7 meter types.
If you have a smart meter, you can still use Flipper, but you’ll have to take a manual reading from it.
People who use a token, card or key to top up their electricity in advance aren’t eligible to use Flipper.
