Consumers 'concerned about paying energy bills'

Increasing numbers of homeowners are worried about being able to pay their energy bills following the recent cold snap, a survey by Which? has found.

Around 65 per cent of respondents admitted they had been thinking more about the cost of their energy bills since the cold weather descended.

Meanwhile, 38 per cent are concerned about how they will pay their fuel bill at the end of the month, with more than half of respondents admitting they have worn more clothes around the house in a bid to keep their energy consumption low.

Martyn Hocking, Editor of Which?, advised that shopping around for a better deal is one way for consumers to cut down on their fuel bill.

"You may be able to cut your bills further by taking a few simple steps, like paying by direct debit or on a monthly basis, or moving to an online account," he concluded.

Consumers who are looking to make savings this year could also consider switching their credit card to a zero per cent product, or changing their savings account to one that provides a higher interest rate.
