Homeowners Advised To Be Wary Of Switching Energy Tariffs

Over the last couple of years, experts have been advising UK homeowners to looking into switching energy providers to help find a cheaper package and offset the rising costs of energy bills. However, taking this course of action is apparently having an adverse effect on some, with families being charged more by their new supplier than their old one.
According to a story on thisismoney.co.uk, many people are being duped into buying a new tariff at their local shopping centre or supermarket from salesmen who purposely underestimate how much energy they consume and thus provide them with a tariff price that fails to cover their energy usage.
This then results in the tariff price being increased at a later date, in some cases, to a price that costs more than what the affected homeowners was paying previously. It is estimated that around 1.5 million people who switched energy companies last year have ended up paying more after switching.

To avoid this from happening we recommend that you only purchase a new tariff after calculating the amount of energy you are currently consuming accurately. This requires homeowners to study their bill thoroughly and keep it to hand so that they can pass on the correct details to the proposed new supplier, a tactic that should prevent you from being ripped-off.
Once a new and more affordable tariff has been organised, you should then look to reduce the cost of energy bills further by replacing your windows.
