Energy prices are set to become a hot topic again next month, as the energy price cap is once again set to rise by 6.4%. This means the average household bill will rise by £153 per year. 

It's a good time, then, to take a closer look at your household bills, and see if savings can be made to mitigate this increase. 

Multiservice utility provider Utility Warehouse has responded to the price cap rise with fresh offers for new customers - and the savings can be significant. 

The company has already signed up a million customers, and claims to have saved 343,000 people over £30 million on energy bills in the past year alone.

The biggest savings are offered to customers who bundle all their bills together through Utility Warehouse, and it's a clever system. 

Your energy, broadband, mobile phone, and insurance costs all arrive on one monthly bill, and all with the biggest possible discounts. 

There are no hidden charges or mid-contract price hikes, and Utility Warehouse guarantees you'll save money. If you don't, they refund double the difference you'd have paid in the first year.

If you choose to make the switch to a one-stop-shop, Utility Warehouse will handle the switch, and cover the costs of any early termination fees, up to £400. 

As a bundled customer you'll not only get the biggest savings and one single point of contact, but you'll be eligible for up to 10% cashback on your everyday spending. 

A spokesman explained: "As the cost of living rises and utility providers increase their prices, the pressure on household budgets continues. 

"Energy bills, in particular, are being affected by the new price cap increases from April, as Ofgem confirms a 6.4% rise in energy costs.

"At the same time, broadband, mobile, and insurance bills continue to add to financial strain.

"Utility Warehouse helps by offering a straightforward solution to combine these essential services and reduce overall spending."

You don't need to bundle all four services, you could just set up one switch and see how it goes, and you get a 30-day cooling off period in case there's anything you're not happy about.
