Keeping energy bills low can be tricky in the winter months as the heating and lights have to be switched on much more often.
Because of this, people need to find ways to cut down costs without actually cutting down their consumption. From money-back schemes to fiddling with the boiler settings, there are a number of ways to reduce bills without having to sit in the cold and dark.
One other switch which consumers may have to consider is a new appliance. Using older models of fridges and washing machines could waste around £300 of energy per year, according to Bionic.
