10 ways to get you and your home
My energy bill is increasing yet again and with the rising costs of everything else I’m beginning to feel the squeeze. I’ve never switched before and wondered if it really is as simple as people say. Shirlie Sampson

If you have never switched you are likely to be on your energy firm’s standard variable tariff and that means you are at the mercy of price hikes and could be paying hundred of pounds more than you need to, often around £300. It is easy to switch to a better deal – you can use an energy switching service to help you to do this. They will take you through the process. It literally is three steps.
You will need your postcode and recent energy bill.
Go to a price comparison website such as uSwitch.com or moneysupermarket.com. Or use the Mirror’s energy switching service at mirror.co. uk/energy or call 0800 008 7794 where you will be guided through the process to find the best energy deal for your needs and energy usage.
Wait to hear from your new energy supplier with confirmation of your new deal. Your old supplier will contact you for your final meter reading to ensure an accurate final bill.
