Winter-proof fuel bills

What's the easiest way to economise? Change energy tariffs. If you've never switched gas and electricity, savings of up to £300 a year are available.

That could be particularly crucial for older people, many of whom struggle to pay bills and so keep the heating off to save money, often with disastrous consequences.

Big Energy Saving Week is a campaign to help people cut their fuel bills and get all the financial support they are entitled to.

It is calling on householders to help elderly people in the neighbourhood who need support to winter-proof their energy bills.

"We're urging sons, daughters, friends, neighbours and even older people themselves to help each other – to check and make sure they are on the best deal online or over the phone," said Philip Sellwood, chief executive of the Energy Saving Trust. "It could make a real difference this winter."

Meanwhile, energy bills for tens of thousands of people could climb by an average of £147.95 when 12 dual-fuel tariffs expire today – if they don't switch to a better deal.

Customers of npower, Sainsbury's Energy, Scottish Power, First Utility, Extra Energy and Co-operative Energy have tariffs ending, with some Extra Energy customers facing a rise of almost 20 per cent.

Tom Lewis of Gocompare.com said: "By being rolled on to suppliers' standard variable tariffs, customers are welcoming a price rise that they should be fighting."
