better plan

Save up to £228* off your energy bill

better plan is our ‘win-win’ tariff – it helps protect your pocket and the environment at the same time. You can save a massive £228* in your first year and, to make a start, all you need to do is reduce the amount of energy you use by 10%.

Plus when you choose better plan, we’ll match each unit of electricity you use with a unit of 100% hydro electricity which isn’t harmful to the environment.

 ‘Win-win’ all round

Reducing energy usage by 10% is not as hard as it sounds and you don’t have to compromise on home comforts. We’ve started by suggesting four easy steps, below, that could help you.

And as well as your energy savings, here are just a few of the ways that we’ll be able to help you save money with better plan:

• £15 off for reducing your energy bill by 10%^†
• £10 off your bill for choosing paperless billing^†
• £10 off your bill when spending over £250 on A-rated appliances^†
• £20 off your bill for replacing your old boiler^†
• £20 off your bill for insulating your roof plus up to £100 off roof insulation^†
• £20 off your bill for cavity wall insulation^†
• £20 off your bill with shield, our gas boiler and central heating protection package^†

We’ll also give you a free Electricity Monitor worth £45** to make saving energy (and money) a simpler process.

 Four easy steps to 10% energy reduction

Tip 1 - Say goodbye to standby

Did you know that in standby mode your TV, DVD player or hi-fi almost uses the same amount of energy as it does when it's switched on? That means you’re paying for something that you’re not even using. Pointless? We think so. Say goodbye to standby once and for all and switch off at the plug.

Tip 2 - Wash clothes at 30 degrees

Washing clothes at 30 degrees gets clothes just as clean as washing them at 40. One thing it doesn’t do, however, is cost you as much - you’ll get four loads at this temperature for the price of one at the hottest setting.
Energy saving - 4.3%

Tip 3 - Switch 5 light bulbs to energy-saving light bulbs

Switch to energy-saving bulbs. They use up to 80% less electricity and come in a range of stylish shapes, sizes and colours to suit every room in every home.
Energy saving - 3.5%

Tip 4 - Get an A-rated appliance

Choose ‘A’ or ‘A+’ rated appliances. They’re better for the environment and cost less to run.
