Martin Lewis has issued a reminder to households to check their meter readings this week to avoid higher energy bills.<br /><br />Speaking on Good Morning Britain, the MoneySavingExpert founder told viewers that customers should submit readings “within a few days either side” of Saturday 1 July, when the energy price cap falls by around £1,200 for the average household in England, Wales and Scotland.<br /><br />The price cap will drop from £3,280 per year to £2,074 per year.<br /><br />It is a cap on energy unit price, not a cap on total bills, Ofgem said.
