Look After My Bills aims to take the hassle out of switching energy companies. Instead of searching for the best deal, you sign up and the company searches for you. It’ll switch you to a company on its panel every time your current energy deal is ending, provided it can save you at least £50.
The service is free and you can cancel any switch that Look After My Bills initiates within 14 days of being alerted about it.
There are some things worth knowing about Look After My Bills when comparing it to its competitors.
It doesn’t switch you as often as its competitors do. Look After My Bills will switch you if it can save you at least £50, but only when your current energy deal is coming to an end. This means you won’t face exit fees. Constantly switching to save a few pounds isn’t always efficient.
It doesn’t compare the whole market. Look After My Bills only compares deals from companies that pay it commission. Each company pays it the same amount, so you don’t need to worry about bias. Look After My Bills checks over 50 energy companies but you might find a better deal elsewhere.
It rules out certain energy companies. Look After My Bills rules out companies based on certain factors – for example, it says it won’t send you to an energy company with a track record of poor customer service even if it’s the cheapest option.
Look After My Bills says it saves its customers £253 per year, which is lower than what its competitors’ customers reportedly save.
The company offers a referral program where if you refer a friend you both receive £20.
