Signing up for a new energy plan or know someone who is? Some energy providers offer referral deals which can save both of you some money. If you're moving house then it's worth asking around to try and save.
Anytime I switch energy plans, I look out for energy deals while searching for the cheapest plan. When I switched to AGL, it was one of the cheapest options for both electricity and gas for my postcode and it was offering sign-up credits which would help lower my bills even further. The main thing I've learnt is that a provider may be offering a good deal but it won't save you money overall if its plan prices aren't one of the cheapest around.— Mariam Gabaji, utilities editor
