Money-saving expert Martin Lewis has urged all billpayers to make one simple check in their homes before the end of the month.
Heating bills at expected to rise dramatically from the start of next month after regulator Ofgem has confirmed it is increasing its price cap by 54% from April 1 - rising by £693 from £1,277 to £1,971 amid a cost of living crisis in the UK. Martin says it's vital everyone checks the readers in their homes, according to the Mirror.
The new energy price cap imposes a limit on the rates a supplier can charge for each unit of gas and electricity each household uses. Martin has advised households to take a meter reading on March 31 before the steep price rises come into force from April 1.
