This episode is powered by Fuse Energy. Now, changing your energy supplier should be fairly straightforward. Yet many of us still put it off, even when we might be paying more than we need to. It becomes one of those jobs we know we should do, but never quite get around to. Switching energy suppliers always manage to somehow get pushed to the bottom of the to-do list. And it's probably because we think the process is going to be really, really complicated. But with Fuse, switching takes you just three minutes, so roughly about as long as it takes you to make a cup of coffee. And with 24-7 support to guide you through the switch, it's easy to break away from your old supplier, leave that expensive tariff, get a fresh start. Right now, Fuse Energy's tariffs are up to £100 below the Ofgem price cap. So stop overpaying out of habit. Switch to Fuse Energy in just three minutes.
