We’re taking part in Big Energy Saving Winter. Find out how you can Check, Switch and Save on your energy bills today by visiting our campaign website www.bigenergysavingwinter.org.uk
All through November we were encouraging people to check they aren’t paying too much for their energy or missing out on any benefits, grants or support that could boost their income and lower costs. Use our price comparison tool to check if you could get a better deal bit.ly/citizensadvicecompareenergy
You could save hundreds of pounds by switching your energy tariff or supplier. During December we will be promoting our price comparison tool at http://bit.ly/citizensadvicecompareenergy. We have also launched the Energy Super Savers competition, where people can pledge to help their friends and family switch.
You could save hundreds of pounds a year if you make your home more energy efficient. This can be done in simple ways, such as not leaving appliances on standby and always turning off the light when you leave a room. During January we will be sharing tips on how to save money on your energy bills. Find out more at https://bigenergysavingwinter.org.uk/save/
We have had to make a lot of changes to how we give advice due to the lockdown. As the Community begins to come out of lockdown we are looking at whether we want to keep some of those changes and what our services should look like.
You can help us make these decisions by telling us what you would like to see. We can't promise to do everything but we will do our best to make as many of the changes you would like to see as we can.
