And, if you switch gas and electricity suppliers today, you could have saved a small fortune by this time next year.

Switch energy suppliers to save money

The main reason why consumers choose to look for an alternative energy suppliers is because they want to save money on their bills. Switching from the most expensive energy supplier to the cheapest supplier can result in savings of up to £200 per year, and the average saving is £75 a year according to Ofgem.

With energy price rises across the whole UK market, switching to save money is no longer just a good idea for those who’ve never switched before. Rises in wholesale gas prices have meant that almost every consumer has seen their bills rising by up to 25% at once, at some point in the last 12 months.
