Myth: switching interrupts supply
It does not. The physical supply is unchanged; only the billing relationship moves. Nobody visits the site and nothing switches off.
Myth: loyalty is rewarded
In commercial energy, the opposite is usually true. Renewal offers to existing customers who do not shop around are frequently worse than acquisition pricing for new ones.
More myths worth discarding
Each of these keeps businesses paying more than they need to.
- 'You cannot switch with a debt' — often you can, once a plan is agreed
- 'Green tariffs always cost more' — frequently they price identically
- 'Small businesses have no negotiating power' — aggregation and timing both work
- 'Fixed is always safer' — it depends on your margin structure
- 'Brokers are all the same' — commission and service vary enormously
