The UK\u2019s major energy companies seem continually locked in a price war, in an effort to beat competitors and take control of the lucrative market. However, this isn\u2019t all good news for you though as the average annual energy bill has doubled since 2004 and experts suggest this could happen again by 2020. <\/p>\n

Energy companies are now raising prices at an alarming rate, blaming the wholesale cost of gas and electricity for the increases. And the big six suppliers up their rates in unison, leaving consumers with little option but to pay out more every year on their bills.
\n
\nHowever, there has been a change in the way tariffs are now being marketed with a higher emphasis on \u2018green\u2019 tariffs. It\u2019s not a surprise that 46% of homeowners say they\u2019d consider switching to these deals, with most people feeling a need to be more energy conscious. <\/p>\n

Whilst changing tariffs can save you money and is environmentally friendly too, we ask the question of whether it\u2019s really an offer too good to refuse.<\/p>\n

Green energy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whilst all of the latest gadgets and gizmos may consume copious amounts of electricity and you\u2019re aware of the environmental repercussions, it won\u2019t often sway your decision to not purchasing that 50\u201d inch plasma. <\/p>\n

\"Solar100-6
\nEnergy is generated through the burning of fossil fuels; something which is unsustainable and damaging to the environment too because of CO2 emissions released. As the resources of coal, natural gas and oil deplete, turning to green measures is essential. <\/p>\n

Green tariffs relate to the creation of energy from renewable sources. This could be from solar power, the wind or even tide. Products such as solar panels, wind turbines and hydroelectricity stations take advantage of the sustainable sources, saving you money and even helping you to do your bit for the planet. <\/p>\n

Can I generate my own green energy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whilst changing to a green tariff will help the environment, if you really want to make substantial savings, investing in your own product is the best bet. There can be a high initial cost associated with this, but over time you\u2019ll make this back and even see a considerable profit in most cases. <\/p>\n

But many homeowners seem put off from switching to green energy because of the common misconception it won\u2019t be powerful enough to provide energy for the property. This is simply not true and advancements in the technology mean they provide more than enough energy. <\/p>\n

In fact, with solar panels, not only will you make a saving on annual energy bills, but the Government-backed feed-in tariff will earn you more than \u00a3500 each year, for 20 years. With renewables you can end your reliance on fossil fuels and protect your outgoings for at least 25 years. <\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have the funds available for green technology, then changing to a green tariff won\u2019t incur any costs either. Your supplier will do all the hard work and you\u2019ll be provided with eco-friendly energy straight away.
\n\"Energy
\nSavings are dependent on hour home, tariff and energy use, but they\u2019re potentially massive. <\/p>\n

Essentially if you\u2019re considering switching to a \u2018green\u2019 tariff then do it. Don\u2019t take the first deal you see though. Identify a tariff which keeps expenses low whilst focusing on renewable and sustainable energy. <\/p>\n

If you want to make even greater savings then look at renewables such as solar panels and air source heat pumps to invest in. Despite a large investment you\u2019ll recoup the money put in over time and even add value to your home. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
