When you move house, it's important to know that your energy supply doesn't move with you. Instead, energy services are specific to the property and are provided by an "incumbent" or existing energy supplier at your new home. Here's a concise guide on what this means for you as you relocate.

The energy contract is tied to the address, not the individual. This means when you move out, you'll need to end your current energy contract, and when you move into your new home, you'll inherit the incumbent supplier that the previous occupants used.

Upon moving into a new property, you'll automatically be on a 'deemed' contract with the property's existing energy supplier. This contract is usually not the most cost-effective, so it's advisable to look into alternative suppliers or tariffs as soon as you're settled.

Inform the supplier at your previous home. You may already have done this through your SlothMove. If you didn't choose to update your previous supplier through SlothMove you can add a service here.

Find out who supplies energy to your new home. This information can often be obtained from the previous owner, landlord, or estate agent. Often the energy company will send a letter to the house addressed to: "The Occupier".

Once you've moved in and have the details of the incumbent supplier, you can stick with them or choose to switch to a different supplier or tariff that better suits your needs.

Moving home involves transitioning from one energy supplier to another based on the property's existing arrangements. It's essential to close out your old account properly and decide whether to continue with the incumbent supplier or switch to a new one at your new home. Taking these steps ensures you manage your energy bills effectively and potentially save money.
