U6 - Saving Money on your gas and electricity Dual Fuel – Getting your gas and electricity from one supplier (known as dual fuel) and paying by monthly direct debit is almost always the cheapest option. Switch – If you’ve never changed supplier, then you could save a significant amount by switching. Ways to save – Also contact your current supplier to find out if it can offer you any ways to reduce your bill. Online – If you go for an online tariff, you’ll often get a substantial discount. Get a cap – Capped tariffs guarantee the price you pay for your energy for a set period of time and give peace of mind for those worried about future price rises. However they can be expensive (up to 20% more than non-capped tariffs). Night use – Off-peak electricity tariffs, such as Economy 7 and Economy 10, are best suited to people who use more than 60% of their electricity late at night, such as those how heat their homes using storage heaters. Read regularly – Avoid inaccurate estimated bills by reading your meter on a regular basis and providing the reading to your supplier. Direct Debits – If you pay by direct debit and your account is showing a large credit or debit, then contact your supplier. EST – Energy efficiency grants are available for improvements to your home. These will save you money and reduce carbon emissions.
