Millions have just hours left to check they don’t get overcharged on their energy bills – key move to make

MILLIONS of households have just hours left to take meter readings to avoid being overcharged.

Households should do it before the new price cap comes into force tomorrow.

An updated meter reading will mean your supplier has a more accurate idea of your usage and bill you accurately.

Ofgem’s energy price cap will fall from the current rate of £1,690 a year to £1,568, the lowest level in two years, on Monday, July 1.
