During the last few years energy prices in the UK have been steadily rising.
Unfortunately, millions of households never realise that if they switch electricity and gas supplier they can save hundreds of pounds during the year.
Over the course of a few years this can equate to thousands of pounds.
It is these households that have never switched energy supplier that have a very good possibility to save even more if they switch electricity and gas supplier.
Using energy price comparison sites it is easy to switch electricity and gas supplier.
All you need to do is fill in a few details such as your name, postcode and your current energy consumption levels.
From the results of this information you get a variety of quotes from which you can choose the best quote for you.
When choosing the cheapest quote on an energy price comparison site you can make even further savings by taking a few further simple steps.
You just select the option where a supplier will give you that further discount.
In general terms suppliers will offer discounts for people paying via direct debit, switching both gas and electricity supplier- this is also called (duel fuel) and online billing- which is where you get your bills via the web.
So in general the cheapest combination on an energy comparison site is as follows: CHEAPEST TARIFF = DIRECT DEBIT + ONLINE BILLING/ BILLS VIA WEB + DUAL FUEL.
For a lot of people it is not just about cost and saving.
For these people customer service ratings can also be measured.
They may want a combination of good savings and good customer service ratings, not just the cheapest, hence it is possible to choose this too.
