Are you overpaying for your energy bills? A recent study of energy rates in London states that you are.
The data, revealed by energy switching specialists Migrate, shows that each household in London is currently overpaying by £218 each year for energy due to not switching supplier.
Across the UK, Brits are contributing a huge £7.2 billion more on energy than necessary, by remaining in stagnant contracts with their existing energy suppliers. Of that amount, London families have overpaid by a collective £712 million in the last year alone.
CEO and Co-founder of Migrate, George Chambers, said that in the face of an unstable economy as a result of Brexit, households across the country should feel empowered to make the switch to save money:
“It is common knowledge in the industry that people can save in excess of £300 through switching energy supplier every year – a secret that energy companies keep close to their chest.
What this means is that by not switching supplier, as a nation, we are paying an unnecessary amount of extra money for our energy, despite automatic switching making energy switching quick, cheap and easy for all”
