Change Suppliers

Energy and Bills
Written By Joan Lawrie

Another way to help people save money could be to help check that they are not paying too much for their energy. Comparison sites offer a useful source of information to see if other suppliers can offer cheaper energy:

A lot of people have a fear of going on to comparison sites as they feel they are daunting, difficult to navigate and they won’t know what information to provide.

They are actually very straightforward and usually take minutes rather than hours. Individuals simply enter some basic personal and household information to find the best deals available for whatever service or utility they are looking into. Please encourage the people you interact with to make use of them!

Comparison sites also offer options to find the best deals available on a whole range of other price saving deals such as:

  • Insurance - Home, Car, Pet, Travel, Life insurance

  • Broadband and Mobile phone deals

  • Credit Cards and Loans

  • Mortgages
