Savings with James

27/10/2026

Ever looked at your energy bill and wondered why you’re paying money before you’ve even switched anything on?

That’s your standing charge.

It’s one of those things we’ve all got rather used to paying, but what exactly are we paying for?

And more importantly, is there anything we can do about it?

A little explanation…

Well, this is a first!

After 30 years, Utility Warehouse has launched its very first TV advert!

It’s rather nice to see the company I’ve been working with for the past few years getting a bit of national attention.

And the message is a simple one - helping people save money on their household bills.

So if you spot us on the telly, now you’ll know what I’ve been banging on about!!

Turn your phone sideways to get the full effect!

The energy price cap doesn’t actually cap your energy bill.

It’s one of the biggest misunderstandings about how we pay for gas and electricity.

So what does the price cap really mean, and why can your bill still be higher than the figure you see in the headlines?

Here’s a quick explanation.

You pay £150 a month for your energy. But does that mean you’re actually using £150 worth?

Not necessarily.

Your monthly direct debit and the actual cost of your energy are two different things and understanding the difference can make your bills a lot less confusing.

If you’ve ever wondered why your direct debit changes, or what all the figures on your energy statement actually mean, you’re certainly not alone.

And if you’d like a hand making sense of yours, just ask.

I’m sure there’s some brilliant advice out there…but does anyone else feel like they’re permanently one click away from a free masterclass, a life-changing webinar and 47 motivational emails?

I’m building my businesses, learning as I go, making mistakes and occasionally getting things right.

And increasingly, I think I’d rather just do it my way.

No laptop on a beach required. Although I wouldn’t say no to the beach.

I’m very good at talking about my work. Except when I’m not.

Your direct debit and your actual energy usage aren’t always the same thing!

Budget plans can be really useful for spreading costs across the year, but it’s worth checking they’re still based on accurate figures.

A lower payment isn’t automatically a saving, especially if it leaves you building up debt. The aim is to get the payment right.

When did you last check yours?

Still learning. Still Building.
