Save Money on Cheaper Gas
Here are some very easy steps you can take
to keep your gas bills down.
Reduce a little - save a lot
It's possible to save around £40-£45 off your heating
bill a year by simply cutting your thermostat down by just 1 degree.
Such a small, un-noticeable change will help you
start saving a few pounds on your fuel bill each month.
Turn down by 4 degrees and you'll save between
£160-£180 per year!
Insulate Insulate Insulate
If you are double glazed then most of your heating
bills escape through your loft.
You turn your heating up, home warms up so you reduce
the temperature to save money off your gas bill...but do you notice how
quickly your home cools down again meaning the heating goes back on?
The majority of the heat in your home will escape
through your roof. One way to combat this is to insulate your loft. People
insulate their own lofts or there are many companies out there providing this
service.
It's estimated you could save around £100 a year by
insulating your loft - to a thickness of between 270mm-300mm.
Not only is paying by direct debit faster, easier and
you'll never miss a payment - but many utility companies will reduce your bill
by up to 10% paying by direct debit.
Free for you, plus you save too. It's win-win!
Floor Insulation
Heat escapes everywhere. Through windows (avoided
with Double Glazing), through the roof (avoided with loft insulation), through
the walls (avioded with cavity insulation) and lastly through the floors.
Another way to keep the heat in your home is to
insulate the floor. This will help you save around £20 per year on your
heating bill.
Compare Gas Prices and Save
If your gas bill is to high each month you may need
to switch provider. There are many comparison and quote engines helping you
find the provider that's right for you.
Compare Electricity and Gas Prices and
Save
If you think your gas and electricity prices are too
high, and bills arrive each month greater than last month's it may be time to
shop around.
There are a few main electricity comparison websites
on the internet which will help you compare electricity prices and find the
cheapest for you. It's not always about price, you have to ensure the tariff
is suitable for your circumstances too. |
