Tips for Utilities:

  • Opt for dual fuel deals as these are typically cheaper than buying separate gas and electric
  • Select paperless billing, many utilities providers will give reductions if you opt for online billing
  • Where possible pay by direct debit as this will grant you access to better premiums
  • Read the literature that your supplier will send you with regards to saving costs, e.g. insulating your house, not leaving the TV on standby etc
