UK Households Could Save £316 by Making 'Change' Before July 1
Uswitch says households can lock in cheaper fixed rates online, with average savings of £316 and bill hikes of about £221 if they do not switch.
- Energy comparison website Uswitch is urging households to switch tariffs before July 1, when the government's price cap takes effect, raising bills by 13 per cent.
- Bill payers could face a £221 hike if they fail to act within seven days, prompting Uswitch to launch electric digi-vans displaying countdown timers across major cities including London, Birmingham, and Edinburgh.
- Research on 4,000 energy decision-makers found 63 per cent were unaware of the upcoming cap, while 23 per cent of those aware feel powerless over their bills and a further 23 per cent are angered.
- Among 2,000 surveyed household energy decision-makers, 20 per cent find comparing tariffs daunting, 18 per cent wrongly believe switching yields minimal savings, and 42 per cent are not considering a switch before July 1.
- Ben Gallizzi, an energy expert from Uswitch, warned that "getting off a standard tariff and locking in a fixed rate deal should be an urgent priority for households" before rates reset.
