Utility Warehouse bundles

At the moment Utility Warehouse offers three unique bundled packages that can include broadband, mobile phones, and even a landline along with household energy. More information on these bundles can be found on the official Utility Warehouse page while obtaining an official quote, however, within these bundles is several energy tariff plans for customers to choose from.

Utility Warehouse Energy Tariffs

At the moment there are two separate variable rate energy tariffs called Gold and Double Gold. A variable-rate means that over time the rates and charges associated with these plans can go up or down over time as the costs of energy throughout the UK rise or fall.

As a result, Utility Warehouse offers a fixed rate tariff called the Green Fixed tariff, what the fixed rate offers is stable rates and charges throughout the duration of the contract so the prices never change.

Utility Warehouse also offers a prepaid tariff option for customers that prefer to only pay for the exact amount of energy that they plan to use.

Finally, in order to accommodate customers that have Economy 7 meters in their homes, Utility Warehouse offers special rates for electricity. These E7 rates offer two unit rates, one for peak hours of energy consumption and a lower rate for off-peak hours.

Is Utility Warehouse the cheapest for gas and electricity?

They offer their customers an Energy Price Guarantee. This states that the company’s duel-fuel prices will be competitive to the Big Six for customers paying by direct debit. This guarantee means that, although the company may not offer the cheapest energy on the market, the rate you pay will be comparable to the UK’s major energy suppliers.

Utility Warehouse offers 100% renewable energy on their most comprehensive bundle. Customers on other deals will get energy generated from a mix of fuel sources. According to their fuel mix disclosure, the company uses:

• Coal – 8.9%
• Gas – 60.3%
• Nuclear – 18.1%
• Renewable – 8.9%
• Other – 3.8%

In 2019, the cheapest variable rate tariff was available from Outfox the Market and the cheapest fixed rate from Avro. The cheapest of the Big Six energy providers is Scottish Power. However, as Utility Warehouse offers a range of incentives and cashback schemes, it is possible the provider will be the cheapest option for some customers.

Is Utility Warehouse good to work for?

They operate a little differently to other energy suppliers. Instead of relying on advertising campaigns to spread the word, it uses a network of agents and partners. These agents and partners are mostly recruited from its customer base. They pay £100-£199 to sign up and can then earn money when they recruit new customers.

Agents and partners are self-employed. They can work as much or as little as they want and are responsible for paying their own taxes. Utility Warehouse claims partners can earn up to £2,340 a month. However realistically, it’s likely that most people will earn considerably less.

Utility Warehouse partners will have access to the Partner Portal on the company’s website. The portal features:

• News and alerts that provide up to date information on the latest announcements and events
• A navigation bar with directions to useful information and resources
• Online training to help manage and optimise your business
• Management tools that allow you to find customers and team members, check orders and create lists

Does Utility Warehouse have good reviews?

Before switching to any new energy supplier, it’s important to read reviews from existing customers. In the case of Utility Warehouse, this isn’t always as straightforward as it seems. As a large number of customers – around 45,000 – are partners, they have a financial incentive in boosting sign ups. This means customer reviews can be a little skewed. Make sure you read a good variety of their reviews to ensure you know exactly what to expect.

Online reviews include:
"Exceptional service, quick to answer call, very pleasant experience."
"As usual great service"
"My experience with this company has been nothing but good since I joined 6 years ago"
"The only time I had to complain they were very professional with me."

However, while reviews are broadly positive, a number of customers complained about inaccurate bills and poor customer service.

What is the Utility Warehouse Clubhouse?

The Utility Warehouse Clubhouse is a rewards scheme that gives customers cashback when they spend with certain retailers. All their customers can sign up for the Clubhouse scheme. Once you’ve joined, you’ll be able to earn up to 10% cashback on purchases. This money will come off your monthly bill.

Retailers signed up to the Utility Warehouse Clubhouse scheme include M&S, Sainsbury’s, Expedia and Hotels.com. In most cases, you’ll earn 5% or less in cashback on purchases. If you spend a lot with any of these businesses, this could add up to a significant monthly discount.
