How hard is it to cancel EDF Energy?

Switching to EDF is initiated by EDF, who contacts your old supplier; a switch typically completes within 5 working days after the cooling-off period. EDF gives a 14-day cooling-off period to cancel the contract if you change your mind, and a switch can be cancelled in MyAccount or by phone (0333 006 99 50). Fixed tariffs can carry early exit fees (up to about £30 per fuel / £60 dual-fuel), but no exit fee applies in the final 49 days of the tariff. Your old supplier sends a final bill no later than six weeks after the switch and refunds any credit no later than 14 days after that final bill.

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights, scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
