High energy bills are a big concern for households across the country and as winter approaches it’s the perfect time to make sure you and your bills are prepared for what the weather brings us.
Big Energy Saving Week runs from the 26th to the 30th of October and is jointly organised by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, Citizens Advice and Energy Saving Trust. It is a national campaign delivered through the media that aims to help householders take practical steps to cut their energy bills by encouraging them to check they are on the best deal, to switch tariff or supplier and to save energy by taking control of their heating and electricity.CCB’s Project Co-ordinator Helen Dean is running projects in Berkshire, giving advice to families on how they can reduce their home energy costs.
See Helen’s web-page giving advice on all areas of reducing your home energy bills – Click Here for full information. There is also advice on the page for families with young children on low incomes, check out the Warm Home Discount of £140 available from electricity suppliers.
Switching suppliers to get a cheaper tariff saves an average around £200 or more. This is the single biggest way to save money on your energy bill. Ofgem’s ‘Go Energy Shopping’ website gives great advice on checking you if have got the best deal, and switching to save money - http://www.goenergyshopping.co.uk/en-gb
