Can you beat the energy bill price cap rise by locking into a cheaper deal before 1 October?
The average household energy bill will rise by £146 a year from 1 October - but it may be possible to beat the hikes and save more than £100 by picking a fixed-rate deal. The typical home currently pays energy bills of £1,568 a year, for a deal with prices set by regulator Ofgem's price cap.
