Energy Helpline can save consumers up to £200 on gas and electricity. It provides information for them to get the cheapest gas and electricity guaranteed. Energy Helpline is energywatch approved.

Energy Helpline is a slick site with a great consumer offer.

The Energy Helpline is committed to providing customers with fast free friendly advice on their best gas and electricity deal. They show prices from all the suppliers in the UK so that they can absolutely guarantee that you cannot find a better deal than those found here.

The service launches at a time when all energywatch reports show increases in complaints of suppliers misselling and the electricity suppliers are said to be raising their prices. Given the current energy markets there couldn't be a better time for consumers to switch.

Switching through The Energy Helpline allows you to give pushy salesmen the boot and choose to switch or not to switch for yourself.

The website is really easy to use and if you do have any questions, you'll find all the answers on the website.

Why Switch?

Switching suppliers wiith Energy Helpline is simple and can save you a lot of money. The service is built from the consumer's perspective. They show all the major tariffs available in the market place, how much you would save switching to them and the service ratings of each company so that you can make the right choice for you. Many people can save £100-200 per year or £500-1,000 over the next 5 years.

If you choose to switch you can do so quickly and easily using their online sign up forms. This only takes a few minutes. And if you use these forms there is no need to fill out any paper forms or sign any contracts. It is all done for you online. They then send off your details to your new supplier and they then inform your old supplier. You don't need to do anything more.

If you change your mind for any reason - just call them within 7 days and they will cancel your switch for you.

There are absolutely no hidden surcharges or costs. You see the best available rates from all suppliers in your area on the results screen and you decide who you would like to switch to. How does the process for transferring suppliers work?

Choose the supplier which offers you the best deal using the Energy Helpline calculator. You can look up information about all the suppliers and tariffs on the results screens and can search by price, service rating or charity donation. Once you have decided on your new supplier, you can then provide them with your details that will form the basis of your contract. These will then be forwarded by them to your new supplier who will then arrange your switch. They will send you an email to confirm the details of your switch and a contact point at your new supplier if you have any questions or queries. Within a month, you should be given a supply transfer date from your new supplier – this is the day on which your supply transfers to them. On this day, you should take a meter reading and submit it to your new supplier. This will be passed on to your old supplier so that they can arrange your final bill.

Will there be any interruption to my supply?

No. There will be no interruption whatsoever. There is no need to change any meters, wires or pipes – your new supplier will use the same ones as your old supplier. The only changes that you will notice will be a lower bill and / or improved customer service from your new supplier.

I'm not sure who my current supplier is; how do I find out?

Look for recent bills - the supplier name will be on there. Otherwise, to find out who your current gas supplier is, you can contact the Meter Point Number Helpline on 0870 608 1524. To find out who your current electricity supplier is, you can contact your landlord or letting agency or your regional electricity supplier eg. London Electricity - you can find their phone number in the phone book, on the web or from directory enquiries.

Affiliates

Join their team and pick your merchant partners, earn money from your website, convert your traffic into sales that make you commission. Sign up is free and you have nothing to buy to get started.

Merchants

Increase the results from your on-line business, partner with affiliates who will drive quality traffic to your site. Affiliates are paid on the results they produce allowing you the unique position of only paying on successful results.

A great new network, for those who enjoy analaysing your statistics, the reporting system and functionality is second to none allowing you too really understand your below the line sales / marketing strategies & techniques, purchaser demographics and habits. You find out the necessary information you need which many other other networks don't provide based on their professional experience from both an affiliate and merchant persepective, creating an interface which has both userability and functionality.

Put Simply The System Works Like So:

The affiliated site agrees to display a merchant's banners or text links on their site. Anyone looking at that site is exposed to and has the option of clicking the banners or links. This action results in the tracking of the sale through placement of a cookie on the visitor's computer. All sales are recorded and commissions are then paid to the affiliate for the sales they have generated.

Any further sales made through this affiliate will be tracked for the duration of the cookie, which is normally 45 days or more from date of click though.

How does it work?

The people who run popular and niche sites are often in a unique position to influence their websites as independents or enthusiasts in a particular sphere of interest, this can make them an ideal outlet for online merchants to advertise. By joining Paid On Results affiliates are able to select appropriate banner adverts from a selection of merchants and easily insert them into their site. Once this has been done, any visitor to these sites that clicks on the banner, and then goes on to make a sale, generates a commission for the affiliate.

How do we know?

Using Paid On Results means that all clicks are tracked and commission can be paid on any resulting sales an affiliate has made.

Why use the System?

The beauty of this means you as a merchant only pay on confirmed sales which is an ideal way to cost effectively spend your marketing budget. In fact, you don't need a marketing budget because your paying after you make a sale so you simply set aside a percentage of this to pay your affiliate partner.

The Paid On Results system tracks every click through allowing you as a merchant to monitor in detail all interest in your product or service. This information is invaluable for marketing as it allows you to see things such as which banners are attracting the most clicks/leads, where your prospects are originating from and who your top affiliates are.

As you only pay for actual concluded sales you also effectively build brand awareness of your product/service in an exceptionally cost effective way. With your banners and links showing over many affiliate sites you can multiply the effectiveness of your site.

Quality Traffic

Rather than your banners being shown randomly across an advertising network (as is the case with traditional web advertising) your adverts are being shown on sites who's owners have decided that your products fits with their audience or more importantly they feel they can sell your service to their user base. This means that conversions from curious visitors tend to be far higher.

Merchants

Businesses trading online who make sales through affiliate partners are referred to as merchants. These affiliate partners increase the exposure of a merchant site and essentially allow the merchant to advertise their products through special interest and independent sites that they otherwise may not have come across. These sites have the benefit of often being perceived as expert or not for profit, which means that (as with word of mouth advertising) the rates of conversion tend to be far greater than traditional methods.
