Why Families Are Leaving E.ON

E.ON (now E.ON Next) merged with npower to become one of the UK's largest energy suppliers. But bigger hasn't meant cheaper. E.ON's standard variable tariff sits at or near the Ofgem price cap, meaning you're paying the maximum regulated rate.

Here's what's happening right now:

  • E.ON Next's standard variable tariff charges the maximum Ofgem price cap rate
  • The E.ON-npower merger caused widespread billing errors and account confusion
  • Their app and online account have frequent outages and inaccurate readings
  • E.ON reserves its best rates for new customers — existing customers subsidise acquisition deals

"E.ON kept sending estimated bills that were way too high. When I finally got through to someone, they couldn't explain my tariff. SaveFirst sorted everything in one go — I'm now saving £51 a month across all my bills."

Common Questions About Switching From E.ON

No. E.ON Next is one of the Big Six suppliers and their standard variable tariff typically sits at the Ofgem price cap. Most households can save £300–700 per year by switching to a more competitive provider. A free SaveFirst audit will show you exactly how much.

With SaveFirst, you don't have to do anything. Send us your current E.ON bill (a photo on WhatsApp is fine), and we handle the entire switch — no phone calls, no cancellation forms, no paperwork. Your supply is never interrupted.

Yes. E.ON acquired npower in 2019 and all npower customers were migrated to E.ON Next. If you were with npower, you're now an E.ON Next customer and may be on their standard variable tariff — likely the most expensive option.

Yes, completely free. We're paid by the provider when you switch — you never pay us anything. If we can't save you money, nobody pays anything and you stay exactly where you are.

The Bottom Line

E.ON isn't the worst energy company — but they're not looking out for your wallet either. Every month on their standard tariff is money you could be keeping.

A free SaveFirst audit takes 2 minutes and costs nothing. If we can't save you money, you stay with E.ON and nothing changes. If we can — and for most families we save £51/month or more — you keep every penny.

There's literally no downside. The only risk is waiting another month.
