Energy bills are due to skyrocket by an average of 54 per cent on Friday, April 1 with households being encouraged to take and submit a gas and electricity meter reading the day before - that is, on Thursday. In doing so, you can ensure that all the energy available is used up before the price goes up.
By not submitting a reading there is a high risk of many people being charged on the new higher unit price, which is around £693 more expensive annually.
Justina Miltienyte, head of policy at Uswitch.com, told The Mirror : “Energy prices going up can be worrying for many — but consumers can still take simple steps before 1st April to take control of their energy use.
“It is recommended that anyone who does not have a smart meter should take a meter reading on March 31st and submit it to their supplier.
“This gives your supplier proof of how much energy was used before 1st April, when the new rates come into effect, and will ensure your bills are accurate.
“You could leave it until later in the afternoon or evening to submit your reading, to ensure as much of your energy use as possible
