Recently there has been a huge increase in costs forced onto consumers by energy providers, the latest and possibly the biggest coming from EON, with increases in excess of 20% being pushed onto the consumer.

With these increases, now is a better time than ever to test the market and see if you are getting the best deal for your electricity and gas. Companies like firsthelpline.com offer a market comparison on utilities bills, often helping consumers realising several hundreds of pounds savings annually.

If you have recently had a rate increase in your utility bills (and most of us now have) go and have a look around. The comparison sites will not charge you anything, so spending 10 minutes of your time looking could save you several hundred pounds. Not a bad saving, when the minimum wage is £5.52 - making the potential saving about the same as a full weeks work!
