British Gas raises online tariff
British Gas has confirmed it is to increase rates on its Click Energy 4 online tariff by 18.5 per cent.
The move makes the product, which had previously been the cheapest online product available, the second most expensive, with the average Click Energy 4 dual-fuel bill rising £138 to £880.
Tim Wolfenden, head of home services at price comparison site uSwitch, said the unexpected rise made the need for consumers to shop around for the best deal more apparent than ever.
He commented: "Today's announcement has come as a bolt from the blue - now that all British Gas customers have seen price rises, it is time for them to start looking around to see whether they can get a better deal elsewhere.
"There are still good online deals out there - but for those British Gas customers who bought into the 'we are cheapest' message and are now feeling somewhat disillusioned, there are competitive capped and fixed price deals which will protect households from price rises at least for a while."
British Gas raised its general tariffs by an average of 15 per cent three weeks ago.
