Avoid A Nasty Surprise: Switch Energy Supplier Now

The cost of gas and electricity has risen steeply over the past few years and is set to increase further over the coming weeks and months.

Many families have shielded themselves from fluctuating fuel bills by signing up to a fixed-rate tariff which protects them over a set period, but thousands of these packages are set to come to an end shortly, leading to an estimated £193 hike in energy prices; the last thing anyone needs at this time, or indeed, any time of the year. If you fall into this category, then you should first of all have received a letter from your current supplier informing you that your tariff is about to expire. The worst thing you can do is do nothing as you will most likely be automatically shifted onto one of the company’s standard tariffs which will more often than not cost significantly more than your previous deal. What you should immediately do is search for a cheaper tariff elsewhere and perhaps sign up to a further alternative fixed-rate package. It’s well worth checking out some of the smaller energy companies such as Extra Energy who are currently offering the cheapest fixed-rate tariff, running until next October, at an annual cost of £990. Most people won’t have heard of Extra Energy before but don’t let that put you off as it is very often the little known firms who supply the most affordable tariffs. Once this has been dealt with you should then turn your attention to replacing any old windows and doors you have to ensure that your home stays warm and comfortable throughout the winter. We strongly recommend that you do it now before temperatures start to dip. Visit our Galashiels showroom to see all the very latest energy efficient windows and doors under one roof.
