Already With Octopus?
You Might Still Be Overpaying.
Octopus Energy is one of the UK's best-rated suppliers. But even good deals can be beaten. Families who switch through SaveFirst save an average of £56/month across all four household bills — not just energy.
Why Octopus Customers Are Still Overpaying
Octopus Energy has earned a reputation as one of the UK's better energy suppliers — and that reputation is deserved. But here's what most Octopus customers don't realise: Octopus only covers your energy. Your broadband, mobile, and other bills? Those are still costing you whatever your current providers charge.
Here's what's happening right now:
- Octopus only covers gas and electricity — your broadband and mobile bills are untouched
- Their 'Tracker' tariff fluctuates monthly, meaning your bill is unpredictable
- Even their best fixed deal doesn't include the wholesale rates available through SaveFirst
- You're managing 3-4 separate providers when you could consolidate everything into one

"I loved Octopus — genuinely. But when SaveFirst showed me I was spending £340 a year more than I needed to on broadband and mobile alone, I couldn't ignore it. Now all four bills go through one provider and I'm saving £48 a month total."

Common Questions About Switching From Octopus Energy
Octopus Energy is competitively priced for energy, often beating the Big Six suppliers. However, they only cover gas and electricity. When you factor in broadband and mobile — bills SaveFirst can also reduce — most households find significant additional savings. Our free audit covers all four bills, not just energy.
With SaveFirst, the process is simple. Send us your current Octopus bill along with your broadband and mobile bills (a WhatsApp photo is fine). We audit everything and show you exactly how much you could save across all four bills. If you decide to switch, we handle everything.
No. Your smart meter stays in place regardless of which supplier you use. It will continue to send readings automatically. In rare cases, a smart meter may temporarily go 'dumb' during a switch, but it will still record your usage — you just submit manual readings until it reconnects.
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
Octopus Energy is a good company — genuinely one of the better energy suppliers in the UK. But 'good' doesn't mean 'best possible deal', especially when you're only looking at energy and ignoring broadband, mobile, and everything else.
A free SaveFirst audit takes 2 minutes. If Octopus is already giving you the best deal, we'll tell you. If not — and for most families there's a gap — you keep every penny of the savings.
There's literally no downside. The only risk is waiting another month.
