Households around the UK are being urged to take part in the Money Saving Boiler challenge.
As energy prices have risen, the current price cap sits at £2,500. This part of Liz Truss' energy price guarantee and refers to the yearly bill of an average household - it is not a cap on how much energy bills can be.
On top high energy prices, food and fuel costs also remain high with the inflation rate hitting 10.1 per cent in September.

With this, a new campaign is urging 10 million households to turn down the flow on their combi-boilers, claiming it will save hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Money Saving Boiler Challenge by Netsa state: "If 10 million households turned down the flow temperature on their combi boilers to 60°c or below this could wipe £1billion off UK energy bills and save 1.7 million tonnes of carbon emissions – the equivalent of nearly six million transatlantic flights."
So far 82,443 have said they have turned their boilers down as turning down a single setting will make your boiler work more efficiently, with Nesta claiming it will save around £112 a year for the average household.
Another reason to turn down your boiler, Nesta adds: "The average UK gas boiler produces about the same carbon emissions in a year as taking seven transatlantic flights. Take this simple action to reduce energy waste from your home."
They add: "Many combi boilers are burning more gas, generating more carbon emissions and costing households more than they need to. People could be saving energy and money simply by ensuring their boiler is running as efficiently as possible. But many people aren’t aware they can change their boiler settings.
The average household could currently save around £112 per year on their heating bill by lowering their boiler flow temperature. Heating homes with fossil fuels accounts for 15 per cent of the UK’s carbon emissions. So by using energy more efficiently, we can cut carbon emissions and save money on our heating bills at the same time."
