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.
