Cheaper Utility Supplies

There are many reasons why the gas and electricity prices of suppliers differ and this can lead to confusion when comparing the energy market but here are a few of the main things to look out for when switching:

• You are sometimes offered a few different payment structures and these can impact how much you pay. Paying monthly by direct debit is the cheapest option and bills are often calculated to spread the cost out evenly over the year. Quarterly direct debits and cash/cheque payments are also an option with this period.
• Capped or fixed tariffs may not sometimes give you the lowest initial price but you are able to avoid nasty price rises for as long as the fixed period lasts. They allow you to plan your future expenses more accurately.
• Online tariffs are sometimes a little cheaper than average but you will not receive paper bills; instead you will be able to check your balance online.
• Renewable energy tariffs, or green tariffs as they are more commonly known, allow you to buy your gas and electricity but at a lower carbon cost to the planet. Some such tariffs offer zero carbon emissions so if you want to save the planet them go for one of these.
