Dual fuel

With energy prices increasing seemingly by the week, customers are searching for the best deals to help make the best savings on gas and electricity. Dual fuel has long since offered a way in which customers can make savings on their energy bills. By choosing one supplier for both utilities, the customer is pledging support to the provider. In return, the supplier will offer discounts. However, this is not always the case, so it is worth finding out before you commit. Dual fuel tariffs can save you money but they can also come with an exit fee should you choose to switch your supplier part way through your agreed contract.
