When is the right time to switch heat pump tariff? Seasonal timing and price cap dates explained
The Ofgem price cap changes every quarter — April, July, October, January. Each change shifts the off-peak rates on every variable heat pump tariff in the UK. Understanding that cycle helps you switch at the right moment, avoid locking in at the wrong rate, and know when to check whether your current tariff is still competitive. This guide explains the timing, what to watch for, and why summer is often the best time to switch.
