Millions of us will see our energy bills increase by around £700 from April 1, when Ofgem pushes up its price cap.
Many of us will really feel the squeeze, as the cost of living continues to rise, especially those on lower incomes and people now working from home.
Money expert Martin Lewis has previously suggested people don't leave their heating on a low temperature all day to lower their monthly outgoings.

He said: "According to experts at the Energy Saving Trust , the idea it's cheaper to leave the heating on low all day is a myth.
"They're clear that having the heating on only when you need it is, in the long run, the best way to save energy, and therefore money.
"A timer's best as your thermostat turns your heating on and off to keep your home at the temperature you set.
"The key thing to understand here is that it's all about the total amount of energy required to heat your home.
"It's a given that a certain amount of energy is constantly leaking out of your home (how much will depend on how good your insulation is.
"The Energy Saving Trust says if you're keeping the heating on all day you're losing energy all day, so it's better to heat your home only when you need it."
Last week, the Manchester Evening News asked its readers for their own money saving tips.
Responding, Carolann Culshaw explained how she slashed her heating bill in half by making the simple change suggested by Martin.
Instead of leaving her heating on a constant low heat, she turns it on as and when she needs it - and she's managed to decrease her monthly bill from £95 to £12.
She explained: "I stopped having my heating on a constant 18c temp and boosting it every now and then and just turned it off completely and only turn it on as and when needed.
"Dec and Jan bills were over £90 for gas alone. Since turning heating off fully my bill in Feb was only around £45 so saved half the price.
"So far this month my bill is £12.
"As the weather gets warmer I won't be needing the heating on at all but some people say having the house a certain temp all the time (which is normally around 18c) can save you money.
"In my experience so far it made my bill double what I would have been using."
