Top tips to save electric bills during the energy crisis

Electricity bills: What is going on?

Since August 2021, the global energy price has risen intensely, and hundreds of providers have gone bankrupt. The energy price cap, which restricts how much a supplier may charge for default rates and is reviewed twice a year by the regulator, is in effect.

The goal is to safeguard consumers from large price increases while also reflecting changes in wholesale energy costs. The price cap increased by 54% in April, from £693 to an average of £1,971 per year. The energy regulator tells consumers to expect another big increase when the ceiling is reviewed again in the summer.

This isn't a limit on the amount you pay; rather, it limits the unit rates and standing costs. These costs vary based on where you reside, and you will pay more if you consume more energy.

Top tips to save electric bills during the energy crisis:

Below are some of the tips to save on electric bills during the energy crisis,

Examine your energy bill for opportunities to save money:

In recent months, cheap energy packages have vanished, so now is not the best time for most individuals to switch energy providers. You'll probably be paying out-of-contract prices if you haven't switched suppliers or tariffs recently or if you were relocated to a new provider after your old one closed.

These haven't always been fantastic deals, but they're now among the most affordable options, so it's worth sticking with them for the time being. Fixing a deal does come with a price guarantee for a certain length of time, but you'll have to pay a premium.

Turn off all lights and appliances:

Switching lights off is arguably the most obvious energy-saving technique, but it may make a difference in your energy consumption. At night, we consume a lot of power to light up our houses. However, energy-saving lightbulbs such as LEDs are significantly more efficient than incandescent lights. They are easily available, inexpensive, and will help you save money.

Reduce energy consumption:

If you regularly wash your clothing at a high temperature, set your washing machine to 30°C to save money on your utility costs. Another way to save money is to minimise the number of washing machine cycles you run.

While this may not be a significant sum of money, these energy savings build up. Be sure they're energy-efficient when it's time to replace your white goods. Although the initial investment is larger, it will save you — and the environment — in the long term.

Reduce the heat in your home:

Heating your home is costly. So, if you can live with a slightly cooler home and instead layer up, you might save a lot of money on your energy bills.

Purchase a smart thermostat:

A smart thermostat allows you to regulate the temperature in your house and determine how much energy your central heating is consuming. A timer may ensure that the heating comes on when you want it to. You can manage your heater remotely by setting the temperature from your phone, which is very useful if you forget to turn it off while you're gone.
