Martin Lewis from Money Saving Expert says “Don't wait to switch - every day's delay costs. We've seen the price of the cheapest energy deal jump by £110/yr (on typical use) since May last year, and with rising wholesale costs - that's what energy companies pay for gas and electricity - the trend's likely to continue.”

See http://www.goenergyshopping.co.uk, Ofgem’s advice site for a step by step guide on how to compare costs and switch. Visit Helen’s webpage at CCB for advice on all aspects of reducing home energy costs: http://www.ccberks.org.uk/fuel-energy-advice.

Helen is out and about in Berkshire giving home energy advice to low income families at Children’s Centres and other venues. If you have a group that might be interested in a drop-in advice session, please email Helen at helen.dean@ccberks.org.uk.

Recently, Helen gave a talk to an English lesson in Slough, and, after acting on Helen’s advice Sana, an English student, saved £440 per year off her gas and electricity costs. She considers that the saving is due to a combination of getting the best deal on her energy, claiming the Warm Home Discount, and reducing her energy usage at home after taking on board the advice given at the presentation.
