Utility Warehouse reviews, prices and tariffs

Utility Warehouse  is the result of a partnership with energy giant npower. Their parent company, Telecom Plus, bought npower’s subsidiary companies Electricity Plus and Gas Plus in December 2013, from which Utility Warehouse was born. 

With around 500,000 domestic energy customers, Utility Warehouse is now one of the biggest suppliers outside of the 'Big Six'.

Utility Warehouse headquarters are based at:

508 Edgware Road

The Hyde

London, NW9 5AB

If you take four or more of Utility Warehouse’s business energy   services, you’ll gain Gold status which entitles you to £200 to help you make the switch and an extra 10% discount on your energy prices after your first 12 months. As a Gold customer, you still have the opportunity to make more savings using the cashback card for purchases at participating retailers.

Utility Warehouse prices and tariffs

When you switch your gas and electricity, Utility Warehouse guarantees you will save money compared to the average of the cheapest variable tariffs available from the 'Big Six' suppliers. Plus if they ever lower their prices, they'll lower yours too. They also guarantee to always let you know about their cheapest available tariff and help you change to it if you want, so you can save as much as possible.

Utility Warehouse only ever offers four tariffs:

• Value is at least 0.5% cheaper than the 'Big 6' and available to all Members. This tariff is also offered to all Members who pay for their energy on a prepayment meter.

 

• Gold is at least 2.5% cheaper than the 'Big 6' and is available to Members who also take Phone and Broadband at the same address with them.

 

• Double Gold is at least 5% cheaper than the 'Big 6'. 

 

• Double Gold Fixed Energy is the cheapest Fixed Price tariff and is available to Members who also take Phone, Broadband and Mobile service with them at the same address.

Utility Warehouse also offers two extra tariffs:

Prepayment meter tariff

A prepayment meter allows you to add a balance to your account so you’re able to pay as you go, you can add more money as and when needed. This allows you to be in complete control of your spending.

Feed-In Tariff

A feed-in tariff allows you to sell your energy back to the grid. Generating your own electricity allows you to profit from any surplus that is fed back into the grid.

• Coal - 8.9%
• Gas - 60.3%
• Nuclear - 18.1%
• Renewable - 8.9%
