The Big Six Attempt To Lure Back Customers With Financial Incentives

The rising cost of energy has forced thousands of UK homeowners to turn their backs on many of our major energy suppliers as they seek to find a more affordable tariff.

Consumer experts uSwitch guess that around 35,500 households have switched from a big-name supplier to a small-scale supplier in the past month alone. This has been a growing trend ever since the cost of household gas and electricity went beyond the means of many.

Whilst this is great news for homeowners looking to save money on energy and suppliers looking to bring an end to the over-arching dominance of the ‘Big Six’, it has not been such great news for companies such as British Gas, Eon, Scottish Power etc.

However many of the ‘Big Six’ are fighting back. British Gas are offering customers who have newly switched £125 worth of free gas if they return and remain with the energy company for a minimum of one year. Certain fellow high-profile suppliers are expected to follow suit over the coming weeks and months despite previous claims that they had raised prices due to rising cost of global energy.

News of these financial incentives has led to accusations from some that energy companies must be overplaying the effect of rising fuel costs and their profit margins as otherwise how else would they be able to offer such deals?

Whatever the real reason, for many people switching supplier works and can help you save a huge amount of money on your monthly energy bills. As does installing energy efficient measures in the form of replacement windows with double glazing and triple glazing included.
