5 ways to save money on electricity and gas bills

A simple change of energy supplier is easy to do and could potentially save you hundreds of pounds. This applies to tenants and home owners. If your landlord pays for your energy they have the right to choose supplier, but usually if you’re paying your energy bills, you should be able to choose which supplier to get gas or electricity from.

If you have a payment meter at the property, make sure you’ve settled the existing balance before looking to make the change. The actual switching is easy to do online by comparing suppliers and their potential costs. The Ofgem website is a great place to start.
