Cut Your Household Bills

We all dread the household bills - telephone, gas and electricity - dropping onto the doormat every month, especially when on a tight budget. It's well worth taking a closer look at alternative suppliers for your household bills, as shopping around for a better deal can save you hundreds of pounds a year.



If you're too busy to trawl through the various supplier tariffs, or spend hours analysing the marketing hype on supplier websites, there is an easy solution. A price comparison service such as uSwitch.com is a good, quick way to find what you're looking for.

If you need to save money on your household gas and electricity, you can also follow these simple energy-saving tips:
  1. Open your curtains in the morning to let the sun shine through south-facing windows.
  2. ...and close your curtains at dusk to stop heat escaping!
  3. Switch off lightsin empty rooms.
    Lighting costs account for 20% of the average electricity bill.
  4. Avoid covering radiators with clothes or curtains.
  5. Buy energy saving lightbulbs.
    These last longer than ordinary bulbs and use a fifth of the electricity, saving you about £80 over the lifetime of the bulb, even when you take the higher initial price into account.
  6. Draught-proof your windows and doors.
