Frequently Asked Questions
Is Selectra’s Service Free of Charge?
Customers can visit the Selectra website and call our energy team for free. Our service is free to use for customers because we receive commission from our supplier partner for connecting them with new customers. This process does NOT affect the price for the customers. The commission we receive does not influence the recommendations that we provide to you. It is of utmost importance to us that our customers have a positive experience and are satisfied with our services.
Does Selectra Work With All the Suppliers on the Market?
Selectra doesn't work with all the suppliers on the market. We offer a selection of products from a carefully selected supplier, which is Energia. We have chosen the supplier we partner with based on a number of criteria including the following: customer service, green credentials and value for money.
How Long Does Switching Take?
It usually takes on average between 15 and 17 days to switch electricity and between 16 and 18 days to switch gas suppliers. Customers always have a 14-day cooling-off period after confirming an agreement with a new energy supplier. During this time, they can change their mind before the switch takes place. After this 14-day period has passed, it should take no longer than a week for the switch to go through.
Will There Be an Interruption in My Supply When It Switches?
You can rest assured that there will be no break in your gas or electricity supply when you switch energy supplier. You will not experience any sort of power cut during the switch, and no one should have to come to your property to replace any meter, pipes or cables.
I Am Renting. Can I Still Switch Energy Supplier?
Yes, tenants can choose the energy suppliers at the property they are renting. Unless your landlord is paying your energy bill, you get to decide what company you pay to supply gas and electricity to your home. Even though you have the right as a tenant to switch energy suppliers, you may still want to check in with your landlord before you make the change.
