Steve Cross Plumbing & Heating Oxford Ltd. Reports High Energy Bills Are Coming
Ofgem, the United Kingdom energy regulator, believes households will face higher energy bills in the foreseeable future. A number of reasons account for this increase, including the over-reliance of the country on imported gas, dwindling North Sea reserves and ageing power stations being taken out of operation sooner than expected. The average duel fuel bill in the country increased 18% between 2009 and 2012 and experts expect the country's reliance on gas to significantly increase. Home owners looking for a way to decrease energy bills before prices go up should consider making the switch to a ground-source heat pump, Julia Cross of Steve Cross Plumbing & Heating Oxford Ltd explains.
