Some 10 million households should send energy meter readings to their supplier this weekend to ensure they do not overpay when cheaper prices come into effect on April 1.
We urge any households without a smart meter to submit their meter readings this bank holiday weekend, so their supplier has an updated and accurate view of your account on or around April 1 The difference between a week’s worth of energy at the old rates compared with a week in April was £4.65 for the average household, Uswitch warned.
A quarter of those who have not submitted their readings in the last three months said they forgot to, while 17% said it was “too much hassle”, Uswitch said.
