Built here, for here
Whatever the bill, we only show deals you could actually take at your address, with the real yearly cost and a date on every figure, so you can always ask how we worked it out.
The bit nobody enjoys
Switching means typing the same details into somebody else's form. Leave the BILLOCKS to us — Buster does that bit for you.
1. You tell Buster once
Name, address, meter, how you pay. Given once, kept for next time.
2. Buster fills the form
He lines up every answer in the supplier's own wording on their genuine application.
3. You stay in charge
Any declaration, verification or final send stops with you. Buster never signs for you.
4. The real reference lands
We store the reference the supplier actually gives you, with a full audit trail.
Buster only offers this for suppliers whose real application we've checked — never a made-up form, never a reference we invented.
Free, and only if you want it
Once he's read a bill he remembers it, so he never asks you the same thing twice. He watches your renewal dates and starts checking before anything rolls over.
You'll forget when your renewal is. He won't. That's the whole trick.
Take Buster with you
Your bills, renewals and better deals — all in one place. Buster lives on your phone so you can check, switch and save wherever you are.
Or just add this site to your home screen — it works like an app.
