The average cost of putting the heating on will get more expensive in 2023 as the price cap rises once again but there's one UK energy supplier offering its customers free services to help cut costs this Christmas.
As Ofgem raises the average price of standard energy to £4,279 per year, households will be paying an extra £200 per month compared to costs in December 2021. To help tackle rising costs OVO Energy customers can apply to get free boiler services and discounts on a more energy efficient one.
Statistics from the Energy Saving Trust shows that replacing old boilers can save the average four person household up to £365 on bills each year, as out-of-date parts and heating elements take more energy to heat homes. Fitting a new boiler can cost anywhere between £1,500 and £3,500 so although there's a clear solution to save money on heating, it requires a big upfront payment to see the cost-cutting benefits.
