Are You Stressing Over Your Winter Energy Bills?

by | 2 Nov 2024 | Articles

Are you stressing over your upcoming Winter energy bills? According to Citizens Advice, about 5 million people are in debt to their energy supplier, and one in four people are so worried about increases in energy costs that they say they will be forced to turn off their heating and hot water this winter.

Here are a few big, and small, energy saving solutions that could save you money with future heating bills and energy costs:

  1. External Wall and Loft Insulation: This helps traps heat inside the building, allowing your property to stay warmer for longer. It also keeps cold air from outside entering your property.
  2. Air Source Heat Pumps: These use a compressor to boost the heat from outside air into a higher temperature. The heat is then transferred to your property’s heating system. It’s like air conditioning in reverse!
  3. Switch Off Lights & Sockets: Simple tasks such as turning off lights and unplugging devices when not in use. Even changing your light bulbs for more energy efficient LED ones can help a significant amount when saving money on energy costs.

If you’re falling behind with your energy bills, and finding yourself struggling to pay, the best thing to do is contact your supplier as soon as possible. Under rules from regulator Ofgem, your supplier has to help you – usually by negotiating a payment plan that you can afford.
