Save on your energy bills

Households across the UK are facing another winter of financial uncertainty after energy bills rose again earlier this month. Energy bills for this period are likely to be £149 a year more expensive for the average household after Ofgem raised its energy price cap. The cap does not set the maximum a household will pay for their energy but limits the amount providers can charge them per unit of gas or electricity, so those who use more energy will pay more. Energy debt is a huge problem as prices remain high.

While there are some big things you can do – like installing solar panels – experts at MoneyMagpie have provided some easy and cheap ways to save money.

Follow these tips and you’ll see easy savings on your next energy bill.
