THIS YEAR HASN’T STARTED ANY BETTER.
Within just a few months, energy prices are up to a yearly average of a budget-busting £1,254. This 10% increase is higher than average prices were before energy regulator, Ofgem, brought its price cap in. This measure is meant to ensure that those stuck on variable rate deals are not paying too much for their energy.
The fact is things aren’t going to get any better and are likely to continue in this trend of price hikes, adding more pressure to family finances.
It’s time to take action, and take control of your energy bill so you don’t end up paying way over the odds.
Switching onto the best deals is the only way to keep costs down as low as possible.
Mirror readers who have used our energy switching service have chopped an average £288 off their energy costs. One lucky reader switcher managed to save an impressive £731.
