 Cut hundreds from energy costs with Big Energy Saving Week

 Brent Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) launched ‘Fair Play for Prepay’
 campaign   there thorough is out and about helping people to cut hundreds
 of pounds from their energy bills.

 As the rising cost of living continues to put pressure on household
 budgets, CAB ,The Department of Energy & Climate Change( DECC) and Energy
 Saving Trust are offering free advice to help consumers save energy, cut
 their bills and get all the support they are entitled to.

 Big Energy Saving Week is a national campaign running from 27 to 31
 January. Run by Citizens Advice and supported by charities, the Government
 and the energy industry to help consumers check they are on the best deal,
 switch tariff or supplier and take up help to insulate their homes and
 reduce their energy usage.

 By taking action to check, switch and insulate, consumers could make
 savings on their energy bills:
 -       £325 average saving from insulation and other energy saving
 measures
 -       £100 average saving paying by direct debit rather than cash or
 cheque
 -       Up to £200 saving for switching tariff or supplier if you have
 never switched before

 Advisers from CAB, Action with Communities in Rural England (ACRE), Age UK
 and Energy Saving Advice Service  will be in shopping centres, libraries
 and town halls   to help residents find out how they can make sure they
 are not spending any more than they have to on their energy bills.

 You could save hundreds of pounds a year on your fuel bill by simply
 checking you’re not paying more than you have to for your energy
 therethrough people can drop into Brent Cab from 9:30 am- 5:00 pm or call
 0845 050 5250 to find practical, reliable information to help out how to
 save on their bills.

 Samira Badani, social policy coordinator of Brent CAB, said: “During Big
 Energy Saving Week we’ll be helping consumers to check, switch and
 insulate to bring their energy costs down. The rising cost of living means
 that more and more people are finding that their household budgets won’t
 cover day to day essentials. We’re keen to make sure that no-one pays a
 penny more than they need to on energy costs. There are practical things
 that people can do to reduce their energy bills and help ease financial
 pressure.”
