New research from GoCompare Energy has found that 83 per cent of energy customers have seen their fuel bills increase since Ofgem’s price cap came into force in April. The research, which also asked more than 2,100 people what they are doing differently to try and cut costs, discovered that over two-thirds (64%) of those surveyed have started turning off the lights when they leave a room, making this the top measure people are taking to save money and reduce energy usage around the home.
Other tactics to tackle the energy and cost of living crisis included going to bed earlier, using the tumble dryer less and doing laundry at night - just 10 per cent of respondents said they weren’t implementing any energy-saving measures.
On August 26, Ofgem confirmed that energy bills for around 24 million households across the UK will increase by more than 80 per cent from £1,971 to £3,549. While it is hoped more financial help will be made available to help people across the country heat their homes without fear of falling into debt once the new price cap kicks in on October 1, there are several things everyone can start doing now to reduce usage and keep their energy account in credit - it could even create some credit.
GoCompare Energy shared the top 10 ways people are trying to save on their energy bills, these are ranked by popularity below.

Commenting on the findings, Gareth Kloet, of GoCompare Energy, said: “With 83% of people feeling the impact of rising energy costs, it’s no wonder that lifestyle habits around the home will have been impacted.
