BIG Energy Saving Week
Big Energy Saving Week is back! January 2014 will mark the third Big Energy Saving Big 
Energy Saving WeekWeek; a national campaign to help people cut their fuel bills and get all the financial support they are entitled to.
Energy is a huge issue and accessing it cheaply, getting support where needed and saving it where possible can have a massive impact on consumers’ ability to manage their energy usage and cost.
Many people stay on the same tariff or with the same energy supplier for years, without realising they could be getting a better deal elsewhere. They could be saving up to £200 a year, particularly if they have never switched before.
CHECK—SWITCH—INSULATE.
Check
Contact your energy supplier to check you
are on the best tariff and payment method for your circumstances, or if they can offer you any discounts to cut your bills.
Contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau to check you are not missing out on any benefits or tax credits that could boost your income.
Switch
Visit an accredited switching website to see if you could get your energy cheaper elsewhere. Shopping around for your energy supplier could save you as much as £200 if you have never switched before.
If you use heating oil as your main fuel, see if there are any local oil buying clubs you can join. If not, you might want to start your own.
Insulate
If you’re worried about how much money you’re spending to heat and light your home,
or just want to spend less, there are some simple steps you can take to make your home more energy efficient.
Keep in the heat by insulating the cavity walls and the loft of your home – you could save up to £320 per year. Most suppliers are giving away free or discounted insulation and other energy efficiency measures so ask if you’re eligible.
