Bills are set to increase massively from tomorrow, October 1, with people being urged to take a reading of their gas and electricity before the price hike.
From Saturday, the government's energy price freeze of £2,500 will come into effect. With the price freeze coming into place, people will pay less on their bills than originally expected - however, it is still a significant rise from last winter's bills.
While those with a smart meter will not have to do anything, everyone on a standard meter is advised to give proof to their supplier of how much energy they used under the old pricing to avoid paying extra costs. However, there are a wide variety of meters being used across households in the UK and it can sometimes be difficult to figure out how to take a meter reading.
