Are you paying too much for energy?
Change your utility tariff and save money this winter. It won't cost you anything, and simply takes a couple of phone calls.
British Gas has announced during last years cold winter households on average used 8% more gas than the previous year. The result, your bills increased! With the possibility of another cold winter ensure you are on the correct tariff!
It is the current opinion that most reasonably priced tariffs are those that are variable (where prices can go up or down and any time of year), dual fuel (where the homeowner pays for both gas and electricity from the same supplier), operated online and monthly direct debit payments.
For example, the table below compares the utility bills for a typical household (a three-bed semi using 20,500KW of gas and 3,300KW of electricity a year).
|
Supplier and Tariff |
British Gas: Standard |
British Gas: Websaver 8 tariff |
Eon: SaveOnline v2 |
|
Cost per annum |
£1,157.27 |
£898.82 |
£882.71 |
The table clearly shows that by simply changing tariff the household can save over £300 and can save further by changing supplier.
To help you find the best tariff or to change supplier we advise that you use the following energy comparison websites.
Another great opportunity! Prepare for this coming winter - insulate your home!
The Energy Saving Trust (EST) calculates that by filling cavity walls to the maximum a typical household could save £120 per year on gas bills and with a cost of only £129-149, it could potentially pay for itself in only one winter! Similarly by topping up your loft insulation to the recommended 270mm this year your home will stay warm and your bills will be reduced.
