Experts warn many of the poorest households are still set to face higher bills than last year because government support isn’t due to be extended.

It means that a household with typical gas and electricity use will pay £160 a month this year, up from £141 last year when the Government applied a £67 discount to bills for six months.

But specialists from the Energy Saving Trust say that by making one simple adjustment to your boiler, you could knock £100 off your annual bill.

They said: “If you are warm enough, try turning your thermostat down by one degree, which could save you around £100 a year.

“According to the World Health Organisation, the lowest comfortable temperature for most people is between 18C and 21C.”

The energy experts also recommend setting a timer and not having your heating on low all day.

“It costs less to set your heating to come on when you need it and just in the rooms that you are using, rather than keeping it on low all day,” they added.

The price cap on energy bills is currently £2,074 a year on average, but will fall to £1,923 from October 1.
