Customers are being urged not to use their dishwasher or oven this Sunday
Customers of major energy suppliers such as British Gas , OVO, Octopus Energy, EDF and E. On are being advised to avoid using high power appliances like dishwashers or ovens this Sunday.
This is due to a change in the price cap by Ofgem set for Monday, July 1, which will result in a seven percent reduction in annual bills - equivalent to £118 for the average household. Consequently, those on standard variable tariffs will see an immediate 7 percent decrease in their daily usage bills.
As the drop is confirmed to take effect at 00.01am on Monday, it would be beneficial to shift any high energy consumption planned for Sunday to Monday if possible. While not all energy use can be postponed, most households should manage to delay using the dishwasher or oven for a day to save money.
It may also be worth considering a cheaper fix soon, as the best deals are quickly disappearing, reports the Express. Currently, there are energy fixes promising to undercut the July 1 price cap by 3-5 percent. However, these are expected to vanish as energy prices are predicted to surge by approximately 12 percent in October.
