Switching energy providers used to be a good tip for keeping household costs down, as different providers offered different rates depending on your households usage but that has now changed.
Spiralling cost of living costs and energy price hikes has meant many usually switching providers have either gone bust or can't offer consumers a decent deal due to soaring wholesale costs of fuel. The average household energy bill is expected to rise to more than £3,000 this autumn, a price which many can't afford to pay.
So is now the right time to be switching energy suppliers and can it be done? Martin Lewis, the man behind Money Saving Expert, has previously warned householders not to switch suppliers because their bills with their new provider may be even higher than their original supplier because of rising energy costs for everyone.
