Two tariffs. You choose.
Most comparison sites rank tariffs on a typical annual usage. SmartGen gives you that standard answer, and then goes further with a tariff personalised to exactly how and when your home uses energy.
The standard answer
The tariff you’d normally be offered, worked out the industry-standard way from your annual usage. Simple, familiar and backed by our promise.
SmartGen Savings Promise: if the projected saving isn’t delivered, we pay up to £200 single fuel or £300 dual fuel. Conditions apply and are shown in full before you switch.
Built around how you live
Gen looks at all 48 half-hours of your day and searches the time-of-use, Economy 7 and EV tariffs SmartGen can compare for the lowest estimated overall cost for your pattern. It may not have the cheapest daytime rate, but it fits your home.
When both agree, SmartGen tells you so. Switching is always optional. We may earn commission if you switch through SmartGen, but recommendations are always driven by your usage data.
Moving home? Know your new energy bill before you move.
Thinking about a new house, or just bought one? SmartGen estimates what your energy will cost there, using the new home’s size, type and EPC rating together with the way your household actually uses energy today.
Example estimate for illustration. Your estimate uses your own usage and the new property’s details.
