Questions? We answer them
How do we get you the biggest saving on your bill?
We’re completely independent of the electricity companies. Our profit doesn’t depend on their promotions, so we can always offer you the biggest discount and the best deal available.
We compare tariffs and also analyse the contracted power and consumption you need, so we can fine-tune them as much as possible.
What should you know before switching companies?
A few important things to know before switching electricity company:
- Your contracted power. In Spain, for household customers this usually ranges between 3.45 and 4.4 kW. One or the other isn’t a major issue, but it’s worth knowing whether you have room to lower it and save a little more on your new contract.
- Are you currently on any promotion? Although switching electricity company is free, some companies apply penalties if you leave before the contracted period ends.
- You can switch electricity company even if you rent. The process is very simple — you just need to change the contract holder. From there, you only have to choose the company and tariff that suits you best.
- You don’t need to change your meter. Switching company doesn’t affect the installation that supplies your electricity.
- 30 days is the maximum period set by law for the switch to take effect, though in practice it usually takes just a few days.
- Before deciding to switch, you need all the information clear. Price is essential, but it’s not the only factor: an “unbeatable offer” often hides “catches” that don’t benefit you at all, such as extra products you don’t need or a long lock-in period with penalties.
Which is the cheapest electricity company?
It’s a tricky question. Offers come and go and prices vary, but generally the soundest advice is to compare and get guidance from independent professionals.
A friend’s recommendation can never replace advice from an independent professional like the ones who advise you free of charge at Quécomparo.es.
Why should you compare electricity tariffs regularly?
Companies update their prices constantly, whether due to market needs, one-off campaigns to attract new customers, and so on.
It’s in that last case that we can benefit most: companies know that once customers sign up, they tend not to switch easily. How many salespeople call us every day offering all sorts of things, and how often do we actually listen and end up buying or signing up for something?
Electricity companies know it’s harder to win new customers than to keep existing ones, so they constantly launch new tariffs and offers to attract new sign-ups. They’ll recoup their advertising spend as you renew year after year, and they’ll never update your prices the way they do for new customers, because in many cases it would cost them profitability.
How many electricity tariffs are there currently?
There are four types of electricity tariff:
- Regulated tariffs
- Free-market tariffs
- Flat-rate tariffs
- Social discount (bono social)
Depending on your personal situation and needs, we can recommend one or another. It’s important to get advice from experts in the electricity sector to secure the most up-to-date tariffs on the market.
How can you check your electricity consumption?
Most electricity companies let you check your consumption in real time online, and many have their own smartphone apps to view your usage.
Some of them include:
- Iberdrola — App for Android and iOS
- Naturgy
- Repsol — App for Android and iOS
For most of them your personal details are enough to use them, though the sign-up process can be a little slow, as they need to verify your information.
When are you charged for your electricity bill?
Generally, the electricity bill is charged monthly or bi-monthly, depending on the company you sign up with or on what you specify when setting up the contract.
How do you switch electricity company?
At Quécomparo.es you can switch electricity company in 5 minutes and save a lot of money each year on your bills.
Call us or leave your details and an adviser will get in touch with you free of charge, offer you the best tariff currently available — whatever the company — and handle all the paperwork.
To do this, it’s best to have a bill from your current company to hand, along with the account holder’s details, the power you want to contract (if it’s different from your current one) and your payment details.
How do you work out the right power you need to save?
Debemos tener mucho cuidado antes de cambiar nuestra potencia eléctrica: si nos quedamos cortos sufriremos caídas de suministro constantes que nos harán la vida muy incómoda, y contratar una potencia excesivamente alta sería pagar de más sin sentido.
You need to be very careful before changing your electrical power: if you go too low you’ll suffer constant supply cuts that make life very uncomfortable, and contracting excessively high power means paying more for no reason.
That’s why expert advice is essential, as changing your contracted power involves costs that can wipe out the saving gained. The more contracted power you have, the more electrical appliances you can run at the same time. As a general rule, for an average home with heating or air conditioning running, plus a washing machine and oven on, the usual power is between 4 and 6.9 kW. It’s not so much the size of your home that matters, but the number of appliances you’ll run simultaneously.
Do you already have the best electricity tariff, or are there better offers?
Once we’ve compared prices and suppliers and switched company, we tend to think we have the best price and could never pay less. That’s a very common mistake, and not only with electricity prices.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Companies constantly update their tariffs and contract conditions, so if your contract is more than two years old, chances are you’re paying too much.
Switching company is a very simple, free process that in practice only takes a few minutes. The tricky part is finding the perfect offer — the one that really delivers a significant month-on-month saving.
At Quécomparo.es we analyse every offer on the electricity market for you, so you save time and money with no headaches — and it’s free.
How can I find out what my contracted power rating is?
The contracted electricity capacity is shown on the bill sent to you by your supplier each month or every two months, and also in the contract you signed with them at the time.
You can also find out by contacting your supplier via their usual customer service channels.
How can I reduce the contracted power on my electricity contract?
The first thing is to find out exactly how much power you actually need.
This is very important because changing your contracted power capacity comes at a cost, and if we get it wrong, we could wipe out the savings we’re aiming for, or end up with too little power to keep our appliances running properly and prevent the fuses from blowing.
Once we have received proper advice, we have two options:
- Ask your personal advisor at quecomparo.es for this free of charge by calling 900377532
- Call your provider directly and make the request, accepting the rate charged by the provider.
Once we have selected the new power rating with our electricity supplier, a technician will visit our home within a few days to install the appropriate limiters on our fuse box. Our electricity supply will then immediately be adjusted to the contracted level, and naturally this change will be reflected in our bill, as a significant proportion of the fixed costs in our contract are determined by our contracted power rating.
How do I pay my electricity bill?
You can pay any outstanding bills directly via the customer portal on your electricity supplier’s website.
Furthermore, if you contact their customer service team by telephone, it is very common for them to allow you to pay outstanding bills simply by giving the operator your bank card details.
Another option: most invoices include bank details or a barcode which you can use to make the payment directly at your bank’s counter or by bank transfer.
In any case, don’t forget to keep proof of payment for the outstanding bill, in case the company mistakenly claims it from you in the future.
Do you like paying more, or would you rather save on your electricity bill?
At Quécomparo.es, we’re well aware that nobody likes to pay more than they have to on their electricity bill, especially in times like these. As professionals in the energy sector, we’re very mindful of our main objective: to help you achieve the greatest possible savings on your electricity bills.
How do we do it? By analysing in detail each and every one of the electricity tariffs available in Spain, and comparing them with your actual power requirements and additional services.
It’s no secret that electricity suppliers devote a great deal of resources to attracting new customers, so in many cases switching electricity suppliers is the best way to secure a significant reduction in your bill. The problem, then, is choosing the right supplier to switch to.
Our mission is to compile the most attractive offers currently available so that you can see clearly where it’s in your best interests to switch your electricity supplier and save time and money on your bills. What’s more, our service is completely free. What more could you ask for?
How is the electricity market organised?
The way in which the electricity market is organised in Spain is based on a distinction between two main types of activity: those that are partially liberalised – namely generation and supply – and those that are regulated – namely transmission and distribution.
On the one hand, deregulated activities may be carried out by companies under the same conditions as any other business activity. On the other hand, regulated activities constitute a kind of monopoly and require government authorisation and specific legal and administrative oversight.
When we talk about the ‘electricity market’, we are generally referring to the range of activities that have been liberalised, comprising two main markets: the retail market, or the market for end customers, and the wholesale electricity market.
Which are the big electricity companies in Spain?
There are currently five major companies that account for 90 per cent of sales to end customers:
- Iberdrola
- Endesa
- EDP España
- Naturgy
In addition to these five major companies, there are more than 270 active energy suppliers in Spain vying for a share of the energy market. At present, Spain has the highest number of energy suppliers per capita, and all of them are ‘competing’ to secure one of the 29 million active contracts in the country.
How is the retail market organised?
Most consumers access (purchase) their electricity supply through retail suppliers, who buy electricity on the wholesale markets and add their profit margin and the regulated costs set by the government.
Thus, our electricity bill includes, on the one hand, the costs of the energy we consume, and on the other, the regulated costs imposed by the government. Most of these items relate to the costs involved in electricity generation, transmission and/or distribution, as well as premiums or subsidies for coal and renewable energy, amongst other costs. In total, these can account for more than 50 or 60 per cent of the total cost of the bill.
Price competition for customers is based primarily on the first component – that is, the cost of the energy itself – as the second component consists of fixed charges and is set by the government.
Some studies suggest that the actual cost of electricity generation is completely unknown, as electricity generation companies have always refused to undergo audits in this regard.
