There was a lot of focus this weekend on the energy comparison sites that operate in ways to benefit themselves, as opposed to the customer who is trying to save some money. The best way to avoid this is to use a reputable energy comparison and switching service such as the Energy Advice Line. Energy efficiency was the main focus of Sunday with more stories about alternative energy, and the potential for changing the type of lightbulbs in the home.
