Customers should compare all suppliers&#39; prices to find the right deal for them before making the switch.</p><p>Could you save money by switching? <a href="http://www.uswitch.com/Energy/Index.aspx?">Compare your current energy bills on uSwitch.com and see how much you could save on your bills.</p><p><a href="http://www.adfero.co.uk" target="_blank"><img alt="track" src="http://feeds.directnews.co.uk/feedtrack/dn.gif?feedid=362&amp;itemid=18066147" style="border:0 0 0" />&#169; Adfero Ltd</a></a></p></div>
