Energy bills have risen for millions of households this month after the Ofgem price cap went up by 1.2%. For the average household with typical usage on a standard variable tariff, this means bills rose from £1,717 a year to £1,738 a year. So, you should be looking for ways to cut back on your heating usage wherever possible.
