Already Switched? There Are Others Ways Of Cutting Household Fuel Costs

Homeowners struggling to afford to pay their energy bills are largely recommended to switch suppliers in the pursuit of cheaper fuel. It is estimated that first-time switchers can save anything up to 300 pounds per year off their annual bill. Even regularly switchers can shave valuable pounds off.

If you’ve already taken this course of action and are still finding it difficult to manage financially due to the cost of gas and electricity then don’t give up hope. Try a few of the energy-saving measures listed below for a more controllable bill:

Read your meter

Energy companies general estimate how much gas and electricity your home is consuming and charge you accordingly. This may not necessarily reflect what you should be paying. You can take the power out of their hands by regularly providing them with meter readings so that you only pay for what you’ve used.

Ditch paper billing

More and more energy companies advocate that householders switch from paper billing to online billing for both environmental and financial reasons. As an incentive, many firms offer a discounted rate to those who opt to receive all of their bills online.

Dual fuel bill

Having your gas and electricity supplied by the same company may save you money as some suppliers purposely offer you a discount for solely use their services, rather than using two separate providers.

Use direct debit

Paying by direct debit as opposed to using your cheque book or paying on receipt of your bill could save you extra money.

Contact your supplier

If a stage is reached where your bills are simply becoming too much of a financial burden then you should get in touch with your existing supplier and inform them. They are obliged to offer you alternative methods of settling any outstanding payments.

Of course, you could also invest in home improvements such as those supplied at Conservatory, Window and Door Outlet to save further money on bills.
