Dual Energy Company Profile: Dual Energy is an independent business and electricity only energy supplier. They offer free SMART meters to all customers to ensure accurate billing and automatic reads (usually provided 4-6 weeks after switching) .
They also encourage customers to use one of their budget plans that spreads electricity costs evenly throughout the year. So while you may pay more in July, you won’t have any nasty surprises come January.

Dual Energy Reviews
Positive
“Very pleased to say I had a seamless transfer, which has never happened before and bills have been much cheaper than previously & had no billing problems!” – Colin via Trustpilot
“I have been a customer for 18 months now. My bills are always correct now that the smart meter is installed and whilst I was expecting a price hike in year 2, the new price was slightly high but good enough for me not to both to try to switch again.” – via Review Centre
