Look After My Bills has closed: what replaced auto-switching
Short answer
Look After My Bills no longer operates: its website now answers that the page is gone for good. You do not need a like-for-like replacement to stay on a good deal. Note when your fixed deal ends and compare before then, or use a service that watches your deal and switches only once you approve.
Updated
Look After My Bills said it would switch your energy again each time a deal ended, with nothing for you to do. Here is how to keep a fixed deal from rolling onto a standard variable tariff now that it has gone.
What happened to Look After My Bills?
- Look After My Bills described its service on Trustpilot in its own words: sign up once, and when a deal ends it switches you again, with nothing for you to do.
- In 2022 its replies to reviewers said it had temporarily paused its energy switching service. Its Trustpilot profile shows no reviews in the last 12 months.
- When checked on 13 October 2026, lookaftermybills.com answered with HTTP status 410, the code a website sends when a page has been removed for good.
- Your energy did not depend on it. A switching service arranges the switch, and the supply contract is with the energy supplier, so your supply carries on.
- If a fixed deal it arranged has since ended and you chose nothing new, Ofgem says households are moved to a standard variable tariff.

How can you stay on a good energy deal now?
Four steps replace what an auto-switcher did, and the decision stays yours.
- Note your fixed deal's end date. Ofgem describes an end-of-fixed-term notice from your supplier, saying the term is nearly over, what you will move to, and what you can do about it.
- Use the switching window. After that notice, Ofgem says, there is a period when you can switch supplier with no termination fees and without telling your current supplier first.
- Compare before the date. Uswitch, MoneySuperMarket and Compare the Market all compare energy, and Compare the Market says it lets customers set reminders for renewal dates.
- Allow up to five working days. Ofgem says suppliers must complete a switch within 5 working days, your new supplier must pay you £40 if they miss it, and you can cancel a switch within 14 days.

Is Taupia an auto-switcher?
- No. Nothing switches until you approve it. Taupia shows the full list of what providers are offering and recommends one with its reasons, after a few questions about how your household lives.
- Upload a bill and Taupia's AI agents read the tariff, usage, contract end date and any exit fee, while other agents watch the market against what you pay now. If nothing beats it, Taupia says so, and there is nothing to approve.
- It compares energy from 19 suppliers covering around 90% of the GB market, plus broadband and mobile. It does not switch water or set up council tax.
- It is free. A provider pays Taupia commission when a switch completes, and on energy the rate is the same whichever supplier you pick.
When is switching worth it?
- When your fixed deal is ending or has ended: if you choose nothing, Ofgem says you are moved to a standard variable tariff.
- When an exit fee is smaller than what a new deal saves. Ofgem describes exit fees as charges in your contract for ending it before its agreed end date.
- When the comparison uses your real usage. A quote built on a guess can rank deals differently from one built on the figures on your bill.

Questions about auto-switching after Look After My Bills
Has Look After My Bills closed?
Yes. On 13 October 2026 its website answered with a status meaning the page has been removed for good, and in 2022 its replies on Trustpilot said it had paused its energy switching service. Your energy was never supplied by it: the supplier you were last moved to still supplies your home, unless you have switched since.
Is there still an automatic energy switching service?
Some services have offered one, so check how any you find works before signing up: who picks the deal, whether you can say no first, and how the service is paid. Taupia is not one: it watches your deal against the market and recommends a switch with its reasons, and nothing changes until you approve it.
How do I stop my energy deal rolling onto a standard variable tariff?
Choose a new tariff before your fixed term ends. Your supplier's end-of-fixed-term notice says what you will move to and what you can do, and Ofgem describes a switching window after that notice when you can change supplier without termination fees. If you choose nothing, Ofgem says you are moved to a standard variable tariff.
Does Taupia switch my energy automatically?
No. Taupia reads your bill, watches energy, broadband and mobile against what you pay now, and recommends one deal with its reasons, but nothing switches until you approve it. Once you do, Taupia carries the switch through. It is free, and a provider pays Taupia commission when a switch completes.
