Martin Lewis has shared two tips to help reduce your bills ahead of the new energy price cap, which kicks in on Sunday 1 October.<br /><br />Speaking to Good Morning Britain, the MoneySavingExpert explained that he has dubbed this “meter reading week” and urged Britons who pay by monthly direct debit and don’t have a smart meter to check their readings.<br /><br />By submitting an accurate reading, people can “reduce any error where energy firms assume more of the usage is at the current high rate, rather than Sunday’s low rate”.<br /><br />Lewis’s final tip was for those with a non-smart electricity pre-payment meter, urging those customers to try and top up after Sunday to ensure they are charged the new lower price.
