Some 10 million households have been advised to send energy meter readings this weekend to ensure they do not overpay when cheaper prices come into effect on April 1.
The average household on a standard variable tariff is expected to spend £127 on energy in April, compared with £205 in March, due to a combination of cheaper rates and lower usage as the weather warms up. Nearly a fifth of households who do not have a smart meter have not submitted their meter readings in the last three months, and 4% have not done so for a whole year, an survey for the comparison site found.
Some 14% of those who had not submitted readings did not know how to read their meter, and 12% said they did not even know where their meter was.Meanwhile, 22% of households said they had made a mistake when submitting their meter readings, with mixing up gas and electricity meters and writing digits in the wrong order the most common errors.
