Energyhelpline

Energyhelpline is a UK energy price comparison service that helps households find cheaper gas and electricity deals by comparing tariffs across suppliers. For forces families who move frequently due to postings, using an energy comparison service before each move or when a fixed-rate deal expires can prevent rolling onto a more expensive standard variable tariff.

Does Energyhelpline Offer a Military Discount?

Energyhelpline is a comparison and switching service rather than an energy supplier, so it doesn't offer a military discount as such. The service is free to use for all customers. Forces families can use it to find the cheapest available energy deal for a new address when moving on posting.

How Forces Families Can Save on Energy Bills

Energy costs are one of the more significant household expenses, and military families face a particular challenge — they move more often than most, which means more opportunities to land on an expensive standard variable tariff if not actively switching. Using a comparison service such as Energyhelpline each time a posting creates a change of address is the most reliable way to ensure energy costs stay at a competitive rate.

The process is straightforward: enter the new address, estimate annual usage, and compare tariffs from across the market. Energyhelpline handles the switch without needing to contact the old or new supplier directly. For forces families in service family accommodation, energy is often included in the accommodation charge — the comparison service is most relevant to those renting or buying privately.

DDS includes utilities savings in its Everyday Savings section. Checking DDS before switching energy supplier is worth doing as exclusive tariffs or cashback deals for forces members have appeared there. The utilities forces discounts section covers current energy and utility deals for the armed forces community.
