Energy Saving Tips
An Ofgem survey found that 53% of people said they have been confused by energy tariffs.
Once a year, your energy supplier should tell you which tariff is cheapest for you. If your circumstances change in the meantime, call your supplier to discuss your options
Smart Meters
A smart meter with in-home display or energy monitor can help householders save energy by increasing awareness of energy use, helping to cut waste. Government estimates that a display or monitor could typically help reduce a household’s electricity use by 2.8% and gas use by 2%. If you don’t have one of these already, contact your energy supplier to arrange to have one fitted.
Control Your Usage... ...Control Your Costs
