Save money on fuel
Gas and electricity costs have risen significantly over the past year, but we are now starting to see reductions and getting the best deal is easier than you’d think.
Consider reducing your energy bills by switching to a prepayment tariff with another energy supplier. Energy regulator Ofgem estimates that the average prepayment customer can save up to £100 per year.
Did you know that pre-payment meters are the most expensive way to pay? It can be as much as £400 per year more expensive than the cheapest method. If you have a prepayment meter in your home and you’d like to switch to a standard credit meter, please speak to your supplier. There is normally a charge for the installation of a new meter, however the savings you make with a cheaper tariff should soon pay for the meter.
There are many energy suppliers, all offering different tariffs or payment methods. Some offer special or social tariffs for older people or those on low incomes.
