Get Energy You Can Afford By Switching Suppliers

Following the announcement last week that British Gas and E.ON would be raising the cost of gas and electricity, it looks as though fellow Big Six company SSE could be about to unveil similar plans just in time for winter. It seems as though there is no getting away from expensive energy but do not lose hope quite yet.

Have you considered switching energy suppliers? Anyone who has never made the switch needs to think about doing so as you could potentially save up to 300 pounds. Though you may find it hard to believe, there are still some cheaper packages available, they just need to be hunted out properly which you can often do on an online comparison site. Even those who have switched before can save money; in fact many households change providers on a regular basis for that precise reason.

The way you pay for your gas and electricity may also determine whether you can locate a more affordable tariff. If you take out a dual-fuel package you can save money, as is also usually the case when you pay via direct debit. For long-term peace of mind think about locking into a fixed-rate tariff as it will help you avoid any further price rises over a certain time period.

Also don’t be frightened to consider going with a supplier that you may not have heard of before as there are many of them about outside of the Big Six. Some may be put off by fear of the company going out of business but if that ever occurred the energy regulator Ofgem would step in to provide your energy whilst you tried to find an alternative supplier so there is zero risk.
