Many of us are facing up to the reality of having to put the heating on as winter approaches – but there are ways to minimise the impact on your bank balance.
For instance, 27 fixed energy deals are now cheaper than the current energy price cap, comparison site Uswitch says.
The company – which, it should be said, has a vested interest in us changing our tariffs – says households switching to a fixed energy deal from a standard variable tariff could save up to £233 – or 13% compared to the October price cap.
Ben Gallizzi, from Uswitch, said: “If you haven’t fixed in a year or more, you’re probably on a standard tariff and paying more than you need to.”
