Consumer advice center advises changing - heating electricity tariffs at Eon will rise from February 2024. Tips from the financial expert.

Andreas Adelberger, head of the Velbert advice center of the North Rhine-Westphalia Consumer Center, has pointed out that Eon will significantly increase the prices for basic services. This particularly affects consumers who heat with electricity and live in Eon's basic supply area. Eon plans to double prices on February 1, 2024. This change particularly affects consumers who heat with night-time storage heaters or heat pumps. As a result, the North Rhine-Westphalia consumer advice center urgently recommends that affected consumers look for a new tariff. The notice period is only two weeks. Consumers could find cheaper tariffs via online comparison portals such as Verivox or Check24. If you want to find suitable tariffs, you should also find out more from local providers. Eon is offering existing customers an alternative tariff offer until January 31, 2024. It is fundamentally important to adjust the filter settings when using comparison portals in order to increase the number of tariffs displayed. It is also important to take the duration of the contract into account.
