Calculate your annual gas consumption based on your last annual bill or using your living space. This consumption data is essential for a meaningful price comparison. Connected Mobile is just a phone call away to find the cheapest gas tariffs and support you free of charge. Call us now!

Use an online gas price calculator or tariff comparison and enter your zip code and annual consumption. This will give you an overview of the gas tariffs available to you from various providers.

Pay attention not only to the pure working price per kilowatt hour, but also to the monthly basic price. Both together make up the total price.

Check whether there is a price guarantee for the entire contract term so that the gas price does not change.

Take into account possible new customer bonuses, bonus payments and discounts that can reduce the overall costs.

Compare other contract conditions such as minimum terms, notice periods and payment options.

Research the customer ratings and service of the respective gas provider.

You can effectively save costs by regularly comparing prices. It is usually easy to switch to a cheaper gas tariff.

The notice periods when switching gas supplier are generally based on the contractual agreements with your current supplier. In general, however, the following rules apply:

For special contracts with a fixed term, a notice period of 1-3 months before the end of the contract usually applies.
For the basic supply from the local basic supplier, the notice period is usually only 2 weeks.
If there is a price increase, you usually have a special right of termination within a period of 4-6 weeks after the price adjustment is announced.
For new contracts from March 2022, a maximum notice period of 1 month after the first contract term applies thanks to the amendment to the Energy Industry Act.
To be on the safe side, it is best to check your current contract documents for the exact deadlines for ordinary termination. The new provider will then coordinate the seamless switch.

If you cancel too late, the old contract will run beyond its term. If you cancel too early, you may have to pay a flat-rate fee. It is therefore very important to observe the correct deadlines.
