Switch and win one year's free energy

Independent price comparison and switching service, uSwitch.com, is offering consumers the chance to get their energy bills paid for a year - up to the value of £2,000.

The competition is open to anyone switching energy suppliers through uSwitch.com before midnight 31st August. They will be entered automatically into the prize draw, whether they switch online, call the contact centre or use the freepost ‘Send us your bill' option.

Tom Lyon, energy expert at uSwitch.com, says: "There are now two compelling reasons for consumers to be looking to cut their energy bills. Firstly, there are some extremely competitive deals on the market that also offer a price guarantee for peace of mind. Secondly, one lucky household will be living energy bill-free for a year - with the current high cost of energy that could be worth its weight in gold. Even if they don't win, at least they will benefit from cheaper energy bills before winter sets in."

In addition to the main prize, 10 runners-up will receive an OWL Micro Energy Monitor to help them better manage their energy usage.

In addition to visiting uSwitch.com, consumers can also call 0800 093 06 07. ‘Send us your Bill' customers should send a copy of a recent energy bill with contact details to Freepost uSwitch.com - the customer services team will run a comparison on their behalf and will then call to discuss all their options.
