How to cut fuel bills, by Which?

Advice on slashing gas and electricity bills has been given by the editor of Which? Money.

Writing in the Manchester Evening News, Martyn Hocking suggested switching supplier, changing tariff and looking at capped deals.

According to Mr Hocking, users of the Which? comparison website www.switchwithwhich.co.uk saved an average of £233 a year by changing their provider.

Which? also found that all the cheapest energy deals available were online dual-fuel tariffs with monthly direct debit payments.

"If you're paying quarterly, buying your power from separate suppliers, and receiving paper bills, then you're probably paying too much at present," Mr Hocking wrote.

Changing tariff with the same supplier and paying by direct debit every month is another option that could save money.

There are also capped price deals, which, though usually ten to 15 per cent more expensive, protect against future price rises within a time limit.

Chancellor Alistair Darling has said that the government has persuaded energy companies to fund plans to help people slash fuel bills with energy-saving action.

The Guardian reported the statement, along with Mr Darling's rejection of the possibility of a windfall tax on energy providers.
