Energy saving tips to help households get winter ready now to avoid bills upset in October

With summer now in full swing, thinking about keeping warm this winter will be the last thing on many people’s minds - especially when the sun is shining - but GoCompare energy is warning that bill payers who do not start prepping now, could be in for a shock later this year.

Energy prices have been at an all-time high during 2022, with the price cap increase in April causing shock waves for the industry and homeowners alike, research from GoCompare Energy found that 83% of bill payers have seen their energy costs increase this year.

And with Ofgem predicted to increase the price cap by 65% to an eye-watering £3,245 from October, the comparison site is warning everyone to get their energy admin in order during the summer months, to ensure they are prepared for the winter. But don’t worry if you’re not sure where to start, GoCompare have shared some simple steps everyone can follow to help lessen the blow later on.
