When you switch, your new supplier will request that you provide them with a meter reading. Your old supplier will use this reading to produce your final bill. It will take your old supplier 5-6 weeks to issue your final bill after you switch.

You do not need to worry about being charged twice because the meter reading you provide will be used to close your old supplier account and open your new supplier account so you should not be charged twice for the energy consumed.

Once your old supplier has produced your final bill they will close down your account and cancel your direct debit.

No. You don’t have to lift a finger. Your old and new supplier will manage the switch. All you have to do is provide a meter reading.
