People are advised to follow several steps to reduce their energy costs ahead of the coming winter.
Daragh Cassidy from comparison website Bonkers.ie suggested that people go back to the basics in order to meet hefty expenses later this year. He recommended that people take caution in particular when using their ovens.
"Firstly, make sure you use a timer when turning on the oven so that you know exactly when it's reached the right temperature. And when you hear the alarm sound, make sure you put your food in immediately so you're not wasting money heating an oven with nothing in it," Daragh said.
