⚡ Even Martin Lewis is saying it now: it’s time to look at fixing your energy tariff.
With the price cap rising 4% from 1 October, Martin Lewis has been urging households on standard variable tariffs to get onto a fixed deal while the cheaper fixes are still available. His analysis shows the cheapest fixes are currently around 8% below the current price cap, and roughly 11% below the cap coming into force in October.
And it’s not just about October — the January price cap is currently predicted to rise by more than 10% , so locking in a rate now could protect you well beyond the winter.
Here’s the part most people don’t realise: fixing isn’t your only option. Tracker tariffs can also be a smart move, especially if you think wholesale prices might fall — they move with the market rather than locking you in, so you’re not stuck if rates drop.
The right choice — fixed, tracker, or staying put — depends entirely on your usage, your supplier, and what’s actually available right now. That’s exactly what I help with.
I’ll compare the best value tariffs on the market for your situation, fixed and tracker included, so you can make the right call before the October rise hits.
No jargon. No pressure. Just the facts, so you can decide.
