We're Utility Warehouse, UW for short.
Supplying Edinburgh, and most of the UK, with energy, broadband and mobile plans.
You can pick which home services you'd like and we bundle them together into one, handy bill. The more services you take, the more benefits and savings you unlock. Simple as that.
We know that everyone's needs are slightly different. That's why most customers sign up to UW through a Partner from their local area. There are over 60,000 UW Partners spread out across the UK – each one is an authorised distributor, offering a one-on-one signup process.
The personal touch that Partners provide is just one of the reasons why over 1,000,000 customers across the UK now trust UW with their home services and we've been running for over 25 years.
Want to join them? Find an authorised UW Partner in Edinburgh to guide you through our award-winning, multiservice offering.
UW offers some of the UK's cheapest energy tariffs when you bundle.
Fix your energy rate to avoid future rises or save with our marketing leading variable tariff. You'll get further discounts on your energy in Edinburgh by bundling more than one service with UW.
We've recently introduced our best ever broadband deal – new multiservice customers can now get broadband for as little as just £26 a month. With no pesky mid-contract price rises.
We also offer broadband customers speeds that reach 500 Mbps, a free UW Wi-Fi Hub, and the option to upgrade to Whole Home Wi-Fi for as little as £5 a month.
We're proud to offer a great unlimited mobile data deal in Edinburgh.
With our Unlimited SIMs you can get unlimited texts, data, and calls for as little as £12 a month when you order multiple SIM cards. There are no long contracts or hidden costs with our SIM-only mobile offers – just great value.
Plus, our network covers 99% of the UK, so you should have excellent service all over Edinburgh. Even better news – all our packages are completely flexible and allow you to keep the same number, making switching to UW simple.
With our insurance products you can rest easy, knowing that we’ve got your back – choose from home and contents insurance, boiler cover, and even Income Protector.
Independent insurance experts, Defaqto and Moneyfacts, give us top marks for benefits like our award-winning cover and UK-based customer services team.
I'm also a mom and grandmother. I'm from Poland, and I have found my place to live in Scotland. Working as a UW Partner I find great fulfillment, giving people what they need most. I am motivated by the joy of people, my Partners and customers.
I’ve worked as a bank manager, financial adviser and mortgage broker. I thought by doing these roles it would give me the financial freedom and security for my family. However, I soon realised this not to be the case. UW, on the other hand, gives me more time with the family, security of knowing what income is coming in every month (which can not be said for when I was self employed for years), and most importantly it leaves a legacy for my family. Any quality financial adviser will tell you – you need to protect your income today, whilst also protecting your family's future. UW has done this for us and I help others do the same.
My background is in retail management. For the past 10 years, I found myself working 70-hour weeks and was fed up of no work-life balance – I ended up running myself to the ground I am so thankful I found this business – it has changed my life I have now left the retail industry and work at UW customer services in a hybrid role, which means I can work from home and most importantly have a work-life balance, while building for the future. UW has enabled me to build a business where I can help people save time and money. It's a great feeling helping people save money especially in the current climate. My main driving force is buidling a legacy for my son.
Our Partners make money in Edinburgh by referring others to UW so they can sign up as customers. It's a flexible way to earn extra money and get a passive income.
You can earn up to £250 for every person you help sign up to UW, plus a whole host of other benefits like holidays, hampers, events and more!
More than a million households have switched to UW, putting an end to wasting time and money on bills.
If you switch three or more services and use our Cashback Card, but don’t see savings in your first year, we'll pay you double the difference back.
You can't predict the Great British weather – but you can give yourself peace of mind by fixing your energy rates for up to 12 months. Simply switch your energy to UW and pair it with our mobile, broadband, or insurance to unlock our great value UW Fixed tariff at just £1680.
Add one more service, and you'll pay even less with the UW Fixed Saver at just £1650.
Here's the good bit – you make money by helping people save on their household bills in Edinburgh. We're a full home service provider, which means that with UW you can get energy, broadband, mobile and Home Insurance and Boiler & Home Cover all rolled into one handy bill. Not only does this cut time spent doing boring admin, but also leads to very competitive rates.
As a Partner you're an independent distributor, your role is to recommend our services, helping people switch to UW. How you go about it is up to you, whether it's through informal chats over a cup of tea (our Partners' preferred method), virtually from the comfort of your home, or even reaching out to people you might not have met before.
And fear not, you'll be fully supported when you start – we'll give you all the tips, tricks and know-how to help you get off on the front foot.
Good news – anyone can become a Partner. The only thing you need to join UW is a can-do spirit. And if you're sitting there thinking, 'but I know nothing about utilities!' Fear not. Ensuring that every new starter feels fully supported and confident is a big priority for us. That's why when you join we'll give you everything you need to get up and running.
If you're someone who enjoys chatting and helping people, then being a Partner will be right up your street. And if you know quite a few different groups of people (friends, family, colleagues, sports clubs, societies) then you're also already onto a winner.
Consider yourself a bit more of an introvert? Don't you worry, there are loads of Partners who have made UW a success despite not being chatterboxes. Plus, the intro training covers all the different ways you can make UW work for you, whatever your skill set.
There are over 60,000 Partners at UW, and each joined for a different reason – whether it's adding to their pension pot, funding passion projects, earning a bit of extra cash to spend on fun things each month.
But the best way to answer the question 'why should I join UW?' is by getting in touch with a Partner local to you and letting them do the talking.
Every time a customer you refer signs up you can earn both a Customer Bonus and a Residual Income.
The customer bonus is a payment made to you as soon as someone you refer signs up - up to £250 for every multiservice homeowner.
The other way you can earn as a partner is Residual Income. Think of this a bit like royalties: Once someone you refer signs up, you'll get a % of their monthly bill paid to you as a monthly commission for as long as they remain a UW customer.
No, we'll contact your energy provider to let them know about your move.
In a few weeks time we'll ask you for meter readings, at which point we'll start billing you for your energy, and your current supplier will stop (so that you never pay for the same energy twice). Your old supplier will then arrange to send out a final invoice to you.

Normally we can let your current provider know you're switching to UW, so you don't have to. But there are some scenarios where you'll have to contact your current provider:
We recommend you wait until your UW broadband is live before you cancel your old broadband service to reduce the risk of having no broadband for a period of time.
The speed available on your line can be affected by:
The actual speed you receive can be affected by:

Yes, you can. But you'll need to make sure your router isn't locked by your previous provider.
When you sign up to us, we'll send you your username and password, so you connect your own router. With our superfast fibre-optic Ultra Broadband options, your router needs to be Very High-Speed Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL) compatible. If it's not, it won't work with our broadband service.
If you need a router, we can send you one too.
Information on UW router can be found here : Whole Home Wi-Fi systems
A SIM only deal gives you data, minutes and texts for a monthly cost. The difference, however, is that you don't get a new phone – you get the SIM, and just the SIM. Pick the SIM Only Deals with simple options
Of course. You can use our SIMs with any unlocked handset or, as we work with EE, any phone on the EE network too.

Yep, simply contact your previous network provider or text 'PAC' to 65075 to get a code which will allow you to bring your current number over to your new SIM. This won't disrupt your service either.
