Now Is the Time to Switch Energy Supplier
As winter is approaching fast now is the time to change your energy supplier if you want to save money.
Depending on your current supplier and how you usually pay your bills Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis estimates that an average household could save up to around £290 per year.
In order to do this, you will need a rough estimate of your current usage and be prepared to spend a little bit of time of a price comparison website.
Making the most from savings
In order to make the most out of possible savings, you will need to have both gas and electricity from the same supplier and pay monthly by direct debit. If, however, this is not possible in your circumstances you can still almost certainly save money.
The market is so competitive at the moment that British Gas, a company not known for competing on price, has just launched a new duel fuel, a direct debit fixed rate which is available to both existing and new customers, saving a possible £200 per year.
This is currently only available through Money Supermarket and there is a £60 exit fee. You can, however, take the tariff with you if you move house and will not, therefore, be liable for the penalty.
