Flat and terraced house residents have been advised to check their energy tariff to make sure they are not paying too much on their utility bills.
Those living in flats or terraced houses should take a look at the best deals available to them to bring down their utility bills, according to one website.Moneysupermarket.com said that, due to the way in which utility bill packages work, those with low energy consumption may be paying over the odds for the electricity and gas supplies in their homes.
Research by the website showed that flat or terraced house residents could save up to £172 a year on their utility bills simply by finding the right package for their needs.
Scott Byrom, utilities manager at Moneysupermarket.com, said: "The figures for an 'average' house are used in advertising and as the default numbers when comparing prices.
"So, if you don't know your typical energy usage, you may well choose a tariff that isn't the best deal for you and doesn't represent your household's consumption."
uSwitch.com recently advised homeowners that, with utility bills predicted to rise up to £5,000 a year by 2020, they should invest in energy-efficient insulation.
