Lower your bills in a few easy steps
Energy and water bills can be expensive, but there are a few things you can do to keep your costs as low as possible.
Learn more about some of the ways you can reduce your bills below:
- Speak to our Home Energy Advisers
You can book a free home energy advice session with our Energy Advisers for one-to-one support to reduce your energy bills. Our Energy Advisers can review your energy tariffs (when the market allows), share their top tips to reduce energy costs, provide advice on Winter Fuel Payments, support you with energy disputes, and - where possible - provide more tailored support based on your circumstances. Tap here to book a home energy advice session.
- Heating controls
70% of your bill is from heating your home and water, so using your equipment efficiently can reduce your bills. Tap here to learn more about heating controls.
- Prepayment meters
Paying for gas and electric via a prepayment meter is more expensive than a credit meter. You can swap your meter and make savings of up to £600 per year. Tap here to learn more about prepayment meters.
- Warm Home Discount
This is worth up to £150 per year. If you're eligible for this, your energy supplier will automatically apply this discount to your bill. Tap here for more information on the Warm Home Discount (on the UK Government website).
- Water
If you have a small family or live on your own, then a water meter may be right for you. Tap here to learn more about saving money on water bills.
- Use less energy
It sounds obvious, but the less energy you use, the lower your bills will be. Our Home Energy Advisers, Tom and Asif, have created a series of videos to help you reduce your energy bills. Tap here to watch our top energy-saving tips videos.
- Pay by direct debit
This can save you between £70 to £150 per year.
- Shop around for a better deal
Even if you have a prepayment meter, switching energy suppliers can shave hundreds of pounds off your bills.(Although deals are not currently available to switch, when this changes, the service to help you shop around will be available).
