winter energy bills
Posted on December 4, 2011 in Energy Info | by martins blogYour gas & electricity bills for the Winter
This is the time of the year we all dread, me included. Our Winter bills, in many cases, amount to more than half our annual spend on gas & electricity.
So how can we control this?
It really is down to us all as individuals, to have some sort of understanding how our energy is priced.
Take a look at your energy bills, and try to get around the confusion of:
- KWH
- Tier 1
- Tier 2
- Standing charge
- Standard energy
- General domestic – no standing charge
These are pretty much, typical of the terminology you will find on your energy bills.
Unit of measure for gas & electricity
Your gas and electricity usage is measured in KWH (kilowatt Hours)
How your supplier charges you
Your energy supplier will charge you so much per KWH
Similar to
It’s similar to filling your car up with fuel, where you pay so much per litre.
Other charges on the bills
With energy, there are other charges to consider. You will either pay a standing charge. Or, you will be on a 2 tier tariff. The first tier generally covers what you would have paid on a standing charge.
What tariff are you on?
The type of tariff you are on, is on your bill. If you haven’t switched to an online tariff within the last year, you are most likely paying standard energy prices
Can I get a cheaper energy deal?
Once you understand which tariff you are on, and you know how much you will expect to spend over the coming year. You have enough information to make a comparison!
You can get the best deals by paying for your gas & electricity bills by Direct Debit. Your energy supplier will divide your annual spend by 12 equal monthly payments.
This also means you won’t be faced with a big Winter bill.

Your default tariff is called STANDARD ENERGY. If you are on this tariff, you will be able to get your share of the unclaimed discounts. These discounts are only available to People who take action themselves. The great thing about comparing energy deals on the internet, is you are in control, and not at the mercy of one individual from an energy supplier telling you they are the cheapest!
