SmartSwitchSave – UW Partner FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you part of Utility Warehouse?

We’re an independent authorised partner of Utility Warehouse (UW), certified to help you compare and switch to their services. While we earn a fee for successful referrals, this comes at no extra cost to you – and we often find exclusive deals you might not see when going direct.

How much could I save by switching through you?

Savings vary, but UW customers typically:

  • Save £100+ annually on energy by bundling services
  • Get free cashback on broadband/mobile plans
  • Pay one bill for all utilities (easier budgeting)

We’ll give you an exact quote after checking your usage.
