Powershop- a Fantastic New Way of Saving on Electricity

If you are looking to trim off your budget, then Powershop is a good way forward. I recently did an energy price comparison, and spotted Powershop; a new energy company on the market, and offering a new way to save money.
Basically, you need to download the app, or monitor on your PC regularly. I tend to send a reading every other day. Unlike other electricity accounts they update your bill on the spot, so no getting out the calculator!

One thing I have learned, to make the savings you really do have to purchase in advance. Easy once you know how! They have powerpacks on offer, so worth checking back daily for this. Let me give you an example; over Black Friday week they offered a pack saving 39% ish, and Friday 13th. There have been some random tropical packs, and seasonal packs. The other way of buying packs is to buy the future packs, and you are allowed five of these and the savings vary- The February pack (which will actually cover me from Jan 4th to February 3rd) is offering a 23.7% saving on their standard tariffs.

Now, the first month I ended up paying around 11p per KWH for my electric. I could have brought that down to 10, but was still working out how to use it! Once you get into the swing of things it is easy, as long as you check back regularly.

I like the element of control it offers, and all the graphs and such. It has helped me to bring my consumption down a little, as I know more about when my energy consumption is high.

I liked the fact that customer services were easy to email, and got back in the day with an answer to my question. Very quick switchover too.

If you want to give it a go I have a £25 referral link here in which you will receive £25 when you are switched. What's not to love? If you are paying more than 11p per kilowatt hour you will definitely make savings, plus no unexpected bills. In the last two months it says: ''In the last 2 months you've saved
£86.52
off Standard Tariff Rates.''
