Cut your energy bills and help the environment

With energy bills at record highs and further increases looking increasingly likely, it's more important than ever to ensure you're not paying more than you need for gas and electricity. And did you know that switching provider could not only save you money, but help the environment too?

Save money on your energy bills and help the environment 

Consumers have already been warned that gas and electricity costs could rise by another 40% before the end of the year. Energy bills have already risen by an average of 15% this year and further increases will be terrible news for millions of consumers already finding it hard to make ends meet.

Around 60% of households are still on their provider's standard tariff and with life becoming increasingly tough because of rising living costs, it has never been more important to ensure you are not paying more than you need for any of your utilities or other home services. And despite energy prices being at record levels, anyone on a standard tariff who still pays quarterly could save money by switching to a cheaper alternative.

Online tariffs offer the best value - the average household could save £265 a year by switching from Scottish Power's standard dual fuel tariff to British Gas' Click Energy 5 product. However, if you fancy changing supplier and helping the environment at the same time, the green tariffs offered by five of the six major energy firms are also cheaper than their standard deals (see below).

Why go green? 

The table below illustrates how the main energy providers' online deals compare to their green tariffs.
