Bills for households across the country are on the rise again as April brings a wave of price hikes. Council tax, broadband, mobile plans, and water are just some of the utilities going up, leaving billpayers clock-watching their usage once more.
UK energy bills have decreased for many as the price cap put in place by Ofgem (for standard household usage) falls to £3,280 or around £2,282 for direct debit users. Despite this, consumers are still feeling the pressure of payments as the Government's winter support scheme comes to an end.
This is where home devices are coming in handy to help households monitor their day-to-day spending. In the last few weeks devices like smart plugs, energy-saving light bulbs and smart home kits have become popular to keep spending low.
