With energy prices set to rise in October, experts have begun to issue warnings to all households that pay with an electricity meter.
Prime Minister Liz Truss announced that the energy price cap would be frozen at £2,500 from October 1 and will last for two years. While this isn't as high an increase as predictions before the freeze, it is still a significant jump from this time last year.
In April, Money Saving Expert's Martin Lewis, alongside other financial experts, recommended that everyone take a manual reading the day before the price hike so energy suppliers could be made aware of exactly how much energy someone uses to prevent overcharging. While the price jump is not going to be as dramatic this October, it would still be a good idea to take a meter reading on September 30, the Liverpool Echo reports.
