Money saving expert Martin Lewis reveals how you can lower your energy bills. The financial journalist said to find a fix deal if you're looking to pay lessc than you are now.
An energy boss yesterday suggested vulnerable customers should 'snuggle up' under electric blankets this winter – as heating bills rose again.
Adding to his comments on the blankets, of which his firm has given away 65,000 to customers in need, the CEO said: 'They're not tokenism. It saves 300 quid a year on your gas bill during the crisis and keeps you warm and safe.' But he said it was right to introduce means-testing to the winter fuel payment, which means older people with incomes of more than about £13,000 will lose a lifeline worth £300.
Octopus Energy founder Greg Jackson encouraged those struggling to warm their homes this winter to avoid further costs by using cheaper heating methods Official Government figures this week forecast that the cuts would drive 100,000 extra pensioners into fuel poverty over the next two years.
