How do I tell EDF I am moving house?

Short answer

Go to Move Home in EDF's MyAccount, up to 14 days before your move or up to 90 days after it. EDF asks for your moving out date and a forwarding address, and may ask for final meter readings.

EDF says it can usually send your final bill within a week of your move, and that you might be able to keep your current tariff.

See who supplies your new home

Pick your new address to see which supplier its meters are with, the price-cap rate for the home, and tariffs that can start on the day you move in.

You pick your exact address on the next screen. Nothing is priced before that.

England, Scotland and Wales. Switching is your choice: you can also stay with the current supplier.

EDF handles a move in MyAccount, from 14 days before to 90 days after. This is what EDF says about dates, tariffs and the final bill, and the rules every supplier follows.

How do I tell EDF I am moving out?

In MyAccount, from 14 days before the move to 90 days after.

  • EDF's help page says to go to Move Home in MyAccount.
  • You can do this up to 14 days before your move, or up to 90 days after it.

Can I take my EDF tariff to my new home?

You might be able to, EDF says: check in MyAccount.

  • EDF says that when you move you might even be able to keep your current tariff.
  • The pages read do not say whether an exit fee applies when a fixed tariff ends because you move, so check before you agree to end it.
  • Citizens Advice says breaking a fixed contract early can mean an exit fee, and that if you break it you go onto a standard variable tariff at the new home.

When will I get my final EDF bill?

Usually within a week of your move, EDF says.

  • EDF says it can usually send your final bill within a week of your move.
  • Citizens Advice says a supplier must send the final bill within 6 weeks and refund any credit within 10 working days of sending it, and might owe compensation if either is late.
  • Check the final bill against the readings and dates you noted on moving day.

What if EDF already supplies my new home?

Give it a reading from the day you moved in, then choose a tariff.

  • Read the meters on the day you move in and give the readings to the supplier, so your account starts from the right figures.
  • Until you choose a tariff you are on a deemed contract on the supplier's standard tariff, Citizens Advice says.
  • EDF's moving home help has sections for the first meter reading, tariffs and quotes, and prepayment meters at a new home.
  • You can stay with EDF on another of its tariffs, or switch supplier. Moving in is a natural point to compare.
