Five energy myths which could help you save money on bills ahead of October price cap

There can be no doubt that many households are already beginning to feel the extra financial squeeze brought about by rising energy bills and soaring inflation, with everyone slashing their monthly outgoing spending just to try and stay in the black. The latest predictions from Cornwall Insight is that the price cap will rise from its current £1,971 to an eye-watering £3,245 for those with typical average usage on a standard tariff.
