Nev Stokes left npower in search of a better deal after becoming disillusioned with the behaviour of the big energy providers.
The Edinburgh-based web developer said: "I moved into a new flat and was keen to change supplier. I began looking outside the Big Six because of their double digit price and profit rises.
"I saw that Good Energy were 100per cent renewable, so I gave them my details and they organised everything."
Good Energy has come top in the annual customer satisfaction survey carried out by consumers' organisation Which? in three out of the past four years.
Mr Stokes has no cause to regret his decision. He said: "They respond to emails promptly and they have a personal touch to them.
"After a year, it became clear I was paying too much on my monthly direct debit. I contacted them and within a week I had a cheque in my hand."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
