Get started in five minutes
- Grab your latest bill and circle the unit rate (p/kWh) and standing charge.
- Compare last month’s kWh to this month’s. Any spikes? Check heating, hot water, or tumble-dryer use.
- Submit an up-to-date meter reading to avoid estimated bills.
- If you are behind, speak to your supplier early about support schemes. Prioritise essentials over wants.
- Set a reminder to review usage monthly. Small steps add up.
