An energy expert has revealed the top ways to save money this winter ahead of the 10% energy price cap rise starting from October 1 2024.
Winter can be a challenging time for many households due to the financial strain that often comes with rising energy bills as temperatures drop.
While some relief may be in sight for the following year with a potential price drop in 2025, the immediate impact of this rise is devastating for the 27m households on a standard variable tariff, who will feel the full brunt of these hikes. The expert suggests ensuring your dishwasher is full before running it to maximise efficiency. He points out: "A full dishwasher uses less water and electricity per item than washing by hand.Bedroom: Keep Curtains Closed During the Day.
If you're reliant on electric heaters, Elson advises a rethink: "Gas central heating is generally more cost-effective. If you need to heat a specific room, adjust the radiator valve in that room rather than using an electric heater."While long, hot showers may be appealing during winter, they can also be expensive. James suggests limiting showers to four minutes.
