Households urged to act this weekend to avoid £238 charge

Families are being told to send their energy meter readings this weekend to make sure they don't pay too much when cheaper prices start on 1 April.

So, instead of paying £1,928 for gas and electricity, families in England, Scotland and Wales will pay £1,690 - that's £238 less over a year or about £20 less each month. Families who are on a standard variable tariff will spend about £127 on energy in April, less than the £205 they spent in March.

Uswitch found that a quarter of people who hadn't given a meter reading in the last three months said they forgot. 17% said it was "too much hassle". 14% of people who hadn't given a meter reading didn't know how to read their meter. 12% said they didn't even know where their meter was. Ben Gallizzi, energy spokesman at Uswitch.com, said: "We urge any households without a smart meter to submit their meter readings this bank holiday weekend, so their supplier has an updated and accurate view of your account on or around April 1.
