Our verdict
Compare Power suits US households that would rather hand an energy switch to a broker than shop suppliers themselves. It covers 21 suppliers across the whole market, and a household that wants a wide set of options with a broker handling the move gets both in the same place.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Support runs on chat, email and phone, so a household can pick up a phone, open a chat, send an email or read the help centre after it has signed up.
- The service listed is energy, so the comparison is built around the energy switch itself rather than diluted across a general marketplace.
- Trading since 2009 puts a long operating record behind a service that handles your address and supplier details.
Cons
- Commission list published is a no, so a household cannot see what a supplier pays to be included in the comparison.
- Coverage of 21 suppliers is thinner than EnergieKiezer at 70 and Gaslicht.com at 30.
- The only service listed is energy, so there is no broadband or mobile quote in the same place for a household shopping a wider basket.
Who it suits
- Households in US who would rather have a broker run the energy switch than compare plans on their own.
- Shoppers who want phone and chat support, since support runs on chat, email and phone.
- Readers comfortable with a comparison where commission list published is a no.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers after the widest panel: EnergieKiezer lists 70 suppliers against 21 here.
- Households that want a broader panel in the same class of service: Gaslicht.com covers 30 suppliers.
Who runs it
Compare Power is operated by Compare Power, LLC, a business based in the United States that has been trading since 2009. That length of trading matters for a switching service, because an enquiry has to be handed to a supplier and then followed through to the opening meter reading rather than dropped at the point of sign-up. Support runs on chat, email and phone, so a phone line, live chat, email and a help centre are all available by the time a switch is under way. A household that prefers to read an answer in its own time has the help centre; a household that wants to talk it through has a phone line; and email gives a written record of what was agreed. Dealing with a named Compare Power, LLC gives a reader a specific party to raise a problem with rather than a trading name alone, and the US base keeps the operation in the same market as the suppliers it approaches. Account questions, address changes and start dates all sit with that same business from the first enquiry through to the opening meter reading.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a fee to switch with Compare Power?+
The switching fee model is free, so a household is not charged to have an energy plan moved across. The commercial side of that arrangement sits with the suppliers rather than with the person switching, which is why a comparison can be used without a charge appearing at checkout. Confirm the terms for your own state before you enrol.
Which market does Compare Power cover?+
Compare Power works in the United States, and the business behind it is based in the United States. That means the suppliers and the plans on offer are from the US rather than from Europe, so a household outside that market will not find a usable quote here. Check the state you are in before you start.
How many suppliers can I compare?+
The site covers 21 suppliers, and it describes itself as covering the whole market, so the panel is meant to be the full set available rather than a preferred handful. For breadth, EnergieKiezer lists 70 and Gaslicht.com lists 30 suppliers, so a shopper after the longest list has other places to look.
How do I get help after I have switched?+
Support runs on chat, email and phone. That gives a phone line for anything urgent, chat for a quicker written answer, email when a record of the conversation helps, and a help centre for the questions you would rather answer without waiting. It is a broad set of routes for a household that does not want to depend on a single inbox.
Who actually runs Compare Power?+
The site is operated by Compare Power, LLC, a business based in the United States that has been trading since 2009. A named legal entity and a long trading record are both worth having on a site that passes your details to suppliers, because there is a specific party to raise a complaint with if an enrolment goes wrong.
How does the site make its money?+
Commission list published is a no on this site, so a household cannot see what each supplier pays to be included in the comparison. The cost side of that deal sits with the suppliers rather than with the person switching, and the comparison is built on that arrangement rather than on a subscription. If the payment side matters to you, ask before you enrol.
Can I compare broadband or mobile in the same place?+
The services listed for Compare Power are energy, so the comparison is built around energy alone. There is no broadband or mobile quote alongside it, which matters if you hoped to settle electricity and a phone line together. A reader shopping a wider basket is better served by a site that carries several services.
How does its supplier panel compare with the alternatives?+
Gaslicht.com covers 30 suppliers, Gatby covers from 20 and EnergieKiezer lists 70, against 21 for Compare Power. Panel length is the clearest difference between these services, so shoppers who want the longest list of options have good reason to weigh it first.
