Before you buy

Shopping with British Gas

British Gas sells fixed, tracker and standard variable tariffs. Its Fix & Fall tariff fixes your prices for two years and lowers them if prices fall.

Smart and prepayment tariffs

  • An EV tariff with cheaper overnight rates
  • A heat pump tariff with half-price electricity for 70 hours a week
  • Charge Power, for charging a home battery overnight at half price
  • A Smart Export Guarantee tariff that pays for power you export
  • Prepayment tariffs

British Gas's prices aren't in my energy comparison, because it doesn't publish them in a form I can use. To see what it would charge for your home, get a quote on its site, then set that figure against the cheapest deals in my comparison for your region.

To switch, get a quote online. Existing customers can also move to PeakSave, which gives half-price electricity on Sunday daytimes.
