UK consumers grappling with rising household bills could find a way to save by bundling all their utilities into one bill
It’s no secret that more or less everything has become more expensive in recent years, and many UK consumers are feeling the pinch when it comes to household bills. Sky-high energy, mobile contracts, rising broadband prices, and water prices rocketing around the country.
This is where Utility Warehouse could be a place worth looking at for billpayers. The multi-service utility provider bundles nearly all every household bills into one, making it easy to manage your services, keep ontop of spending, and steer clear of mid-contract price hikes.
Energy, broadband, mobile, insurance and more can be bundled-in under UW’s plans. I’s said to offer one of the cheapest variable energy rates when you bundle, as well as market-leading fixed tariffs.

With a 4.4 out 5 rating at Trustpilot from more than 60,000 reviews, it has a good reputation from customers who have made the switch. As one person said: “Utility Warehouse were a new concept for me when I first started using them over 10 years ago.
“I opted for the package with gas, electricity, broadband and mobile bundle. The cost of these services together is very hard to better at UW. They are easy to deal with and their services are always reliable. Great company. I’ve rarely had cause to contact them.”
Another customer said: “Only had minimum dealings with UW but on the occasions that I have I found them very helpful. The main thing is that they are very easy to reach by phone and you can actually speak to someone in the UK.
“They sorted my problem straight away.” UW ranked within the top five UK broadband providers and consumer site Which? has rated its Wi-Fi Hub a Best Buy as it compares other products offered by the likes of Sky,and BT. Broadband, insurance and energy bills aren’t the only tariffs offered.
UK billpayers can also bundle in mobile plans as it offers SIM deals including unlimited data, calls and texts. As frequent mobile shoppers will be aware, general UK providers often lock customers into lengthy 24 to 36-month long contracts, Utility Warehouse offers more flexible options too – with EU roaming and additional SIMs from £10 each.
If you choose to make the switch, you’ll get up to £400 to cover early termination fees with your existing suppliers, as well as a 30-day cooling-off period where you can switch back with no penalties.
If that sounds like a winner to you, head to Utility Warehouse, enter some basic details, and get a quote.
Some customers feel that the bundling hasn’t saved them money, however, many noted that it was a convenient service. As one person said: “I feel it’s a good idea to have utilities in the same place but I pay heavily for the privilege.”
Others have said the broadband lets the side down, on occasion. “The gas and electricity prices are very competitive,” began another three-star review. “The boiler insurance is also up with the best of the competition. However, the internet package lets the overall deal down. Speeds are below average. Prices are higher than average and the router performance is poor.”
Another customer said: “I have used UW for many years. Wouldn’t change. I have gas, electric, home insurance, broadband, landline and mobile services with them, all for under £250 a month.
“Very helpful when I’ve needed to contact them and problems have always been sorted without any fuss. Brilliant company.”
