Increase in Energy Prices Pushes Demand for Best Value Providers

LONDON, October 10, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    As the nights draw in, householders are expected to seek out the best
energy deals through price comparison [http://www.comparethemarket.com ]
websites, according to comparethemarket.com. Following the recent
announcements of gas and electricity price rises, these costs are now being
passed onto the consumer by the companies providing home energy. Last month
saw Scottish and Southern Energy and E.ON's price increases come into effect
meaning more energy customers will be eager to find the best deal on home
utilities.

    However, customers will be pleased to know that they can find great
savings by visiting comparethemarket.com
[http://www.comparethemarket.com/energy ]. Half of the price comparison
website's customers have reported an average saving of GBP286.27* just by
following 3 easy steps:

   
    - Visit comparethemarket.com and compare energy deals
      according to your personal usage
    - Opt for online billing and pay by direct debit - many energy
      providers offer discounts for these payment options

    Jeremy Moll, Commercial Director at comparethemarket.com said: "With
families starting to feel the effects of increased energy prices, we expect
to see many more householders looking for savings and specifically fixed
deals on their gas [http://www.comparethemarket.com/compare-gas-prices ] and
electricity. Working with some of the biggest providers,
