How To Slash Hundreds Off Your Energy Bill

You could save even if you stay put

Are you ripping yourself off? At least 11 million people in the UK are overpaying on their energy bills, usually by £100s a year. Sorting it is one of the biggest and easiest savings you can make – yet the majority still don’t do it. More so, even if you’re scared of switching firms, right now you may be able to save £100s and stick with your existing provider. So as we’re in the core of winter, carpe diem (translation: get off your bum and try to give it a go).

Are you one of the 11m massively overpaying?

Anyone who’s with a big six company – British Gas, E.ON, EDF, Npower, Scottish Power and SSE – and is on their standard tariff (which is almost everyone who hasn’t switched in the last year). Even if you’re not, as prices have dropped rapidly in the last year, many can still save. One big issue here is that many people assume energy companies have one price. They don’t. They can have lots of different tariffs – yes, that does literally mean they charge different people totally different amounts for the same thing. So the key is to ensure you’re one of those being charged less, not more.
