1) You can still delay your switch to a later date should you wish.
2) There's still a 14-day cooling off period in which you can cancel, irrespective of whether your switch has completed.
3) The switch can be stopped up to 5pm the day before you're due to switch.
4) Your first payment will be taken 6 working days after sign-up or on your switching date, whichever is later.
5) After switching you need to remain with your new supplier for 5 days before you're allowed to switch again - previously this was 28 days.
6) Under Ofgem's Supplier Guaranteed Standards of Performance, suppliers must now pay customers £30 compensation if their domestic energy switch is not completed within 5 working days.
