Top 3 tips to get the best energy deal
Check your contract end date
Around six months before your contract end date you should start thinking about your options. You may be signed to an energy contract for two to three years however if no action is taken you could enter variable contract rates – notoriously the most expensive tariffs energy suppliers offer.
Check your renewal prices!
Renewal prices may be more expensive than your current rate. Restaurants use a large amount of energy so investigate other energy providers to try and get a lower rate on your energy.
Have you been overcharged?
Nearly four million energy consumers have been overcharged by their energy suppliers in the last year due to billing errors. The research has identified that errors have cost consumers £270 million – an average of £72 per person affected. Many consumers aren’t realising when they are being overcharged; it was recently found that 60% of consumers don’t understand their energy bills. The largest attribute for the errors was down to the wrong tariff or product details being applied (36 per cent). Other mistakes included an incorrect fee being applied (31 per cent), charged twice for the same product (21 per cent) and the bill didn’t correctly add up (19 per cent).
