Trade for prosperity

1.    Save on your energy bill

Paying by Direct Debit is a great way to save money, as many suppliers offer a discount. And because energy deals change often, it’s worth checking you’re still on the best one. If you’re with British Gas, you can switch to a cheaper fixed deal anytime – for free.

2. Go smart

A smart meter shows your usage in pounds and pence, helping you spot energy-hungry appliances and keep costs under control.

3. Turn down by just 1 ° C

Heating is one of the biggest energy guzzlers. But lowering your thermostat by just 1°C can shave up to 10% off your heating bill.

4. Save money every Sunday

With a smart meter, British Gas customers can join PeakSave and enjoy half-price electricity every Sunday from 11am to 4pm.¹ Over one million customers are saving every week – we’d love you to join us.

5. Keep the heat in

Don’t forget about the little things. Close your curtains at dusk and add rugs to bare floors to keep warmth in. Simple DIY fixes like placing foil behind radiators, insulating pipes, and sealing draughts also help keep your home cosy and costs down.

6.Show your boiler some love

Book an annual service – it keeps your boiler efficient and helps you avoid winter breakdowns. From emergency repairs to peace of mind with HomeCare, millions trust British Gas to keep their homes warm and running smoothly.
