The perfect time to switch. Blast down energy costs!
Scottish & Southern becomes the last of the big six providers to raise prices
Following Scottish & Southern's announcement that it's hiking gas prices by 15.8% and electricity by 14.2%, the MoneySavingExpert.com traffic light is now firmly on green for 'SWITCH'!
Martin Lewis, creator of consumer revenge website MoneySavingExpert.com, says:
Time to switch!
"Scottish & Southern is the last of the big six providers to up its prices. Until now, it was the only major player which hadn't hiked prices, as it froze tariff increases until 30 March. Price rises tend to come in tranches, as providers have a herd mentality; once one puts its price up, the rest follow. Thus, if you compare in a period of flux, it's likely you'll move to someone whose price is about to jump. Yet, right now, if you do a comparison, the playing field is as level as it's ever going to be. It's time to switch and save now."
There are hidden deals too: find the cheapest supplier and grab up to £30 cashback or a crate of wine
"It only takes five minutes to switch energy supplier, saving you up to 20%, plus there's a way to get paid to do it. The easy way to switch is via a free comparison service; just tell it where you live and how big your bills are and it'll tell you who's cheapest. If it can switch you, you'll get paid cashback or get freebies on top. The sheer size of MoneySavingExpert.com also means that if you go to the comparison services via links on it, rather than going direct, they'll give a cut of their revenue back to customers in the form of a crate of wine; or up to £30 cashback when switching."
