Financial guru Martin Lewis has come up with a great way to help people cut their heating bills as the weather turns colder.
He is advising people to use a new tool that could help them switch energy firms simply and easily.
In his weekly MoneySavingExpert newsletter, Martin said: "As I've learnt at my TV roadshows, when helping those who say 'comparing is difficult', the real sticking point usually turns out to be picking a winner - leaving many frozen in indecision, or worried as they've been burnt before by switching to tiddler firms with dire service."
He continued: "They often say: 'Can't you do it for me?' MSE Autoswitch does that."
Martin explaoned: "I first came up with what we call the auto-compare-and-switch concept over five years ago.
"And after an 18-month build, by a big and brilliant team, that concept's come to fruition. I hope we've cracked it (fingers crossed)."
The system means you tell MSE Autoswitch your details and priorities - such as price, service, name you know, green, fixed, exit penalties - once, then it compares the whole market and picks the top deals for you.
If you're not sure of what's important, there's a "Martin's pick" option you can select to start you off, reports the Manchester Evening News
Once a year after that it moves you to your new top deal, based on your preferences -with a one-click confirmation from you.
There's also an "override" button that Martin can use before that if something goes wrong - for example a provider goes bust or has an IT meltdown.
And while it's not the first auto-switching service, Martin thinks it is the best.
"Many existing autoswitch tools simply switch everyone to the same tariff, or just a select few, from a limited panel of firms they've a relationship with," he explained. "I wasn't willing to put MSE's name on something that blunt."
Oh, and on top of costing you nothing to join, it gives you £25 dual-fuel cashback or £12.50 on single-fuel as well.
However, it's not ideal for everyone. People doing complex switches, with EV tariffs or multiple home meters, people who like to switch more than once a year and "energy nerds...who know what they're doing and want to interrogate all tariffs themselves" are advised to still do their own research.
