Cheap Prepaid Gas & Elec

Cheap Prepaid Gas & Elec

Get a standard meter, or switch & save

If you have a prepaid gas or electric meter, your prices are capped by the regulator. Yet don't be fooled, these tariffs are expensive and, as this limit rose for the SECOND time this year in October, you're still likely to be paying more for your energy than you would on a credit meter.

Solar panels – are they worth it?

Solar panels – are they worth it?

How much can you really save?

Solar panels can mean big bucks. These 'photovoltaic' panels generate electricity from the sun, and not only do they cut your energy bills, you can get paid for generating energy too. But the Government has recently announced a possible end to these payments from March 2019, so do the sums on solar panels still add up?

Smart Meters

What are they? Should you get one? And could yours go 'dumb'?

Energy suppliers are gradually installing the next generation of gas and electricity meters, called smart meters. The Government's ambition is for everyone in England, Scotland and Wales to be offered them at no upfront cost in the next few years, but what exactly are smart meters, should you get them, and what happens if you switch?

Cheap Boiler Cover

Cheap Boiler Cover

Save up to £100 on cover

Energy providers use our fear of losing heating or hot water to jack up prices of boiler breakdown cover. And while some of the big six energy suppliers try and flog their own cover for about £16/month, you don't need to go with your provider and can get similar policies for just £8/month.
Energy direct debits help

Energy direct debits help

Lower payments & money back

Paying by monthly direct debit cuts bills by up to £90 each year. Sounds good, and it is! Yet direct debits are based on an estimate of your usage. If that's wrong, you can end up overpaying month after month.

Cheap Heating Oil

Find the cheapest prices & haggle down costs

The 1.3 million UK households who rely on a heating oil tank to warm their homes risk overpaying due to an under-regulated market that gets too little political attention. There's no slick solution, but there are things you can try to cut heating oil prices.
