Like with any big move, there are some steps that you need to complete before leaving your old home. For that reason, we have prepared a moving house checklist so that you won't leave anything behind. So, let's begin:
- ๐จ The most important thing to do before moving house is to take a meter reading so that you are not paying for energy that you haven't used.
- โฝ๏ธ After you have found your meter reading, it's time to sort out your Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN).

How do I manage an energy transfer in Newton Ward?
In most cases, you can keep the same supplier when moving house, if you so wish. On our website, we offer a guide on how to manage an energy transfer. However, in this section, we will explain a few factors that can affect whether you will be able to keep your supplier or not. Such factors include:
- ๐ฐ If your new property has a prepayment meter or not
- ๐ If you have moved far away from your original residence
- ๐ก Whether your new property uses gas, electricity, or dual fuel
- ๐ก Whether you have upgraded/downgraded the size of your home.
- ๐จโ๐ป The estimated energy consumption in your new home
All these factors affect the tariffs that will be available to you in your new home. When you move, especially if Newton Ward is far away from your original location, then it is possible that your tariff will be much more expensive than it previously was.
So, if your bill goes up in cost, we highly recommend that you switch energy suppliers and look at the best deal for your area.
