(1888PressRelease) May 23, 2015 - Flintshire, UK - A new website called SwitchChain.com has been set up. This website will pay people to encourage their friends who may have not changed their energy supplier to find a better deal.

Despite the fact that electricity demand in the UK is falling, energy bills are increasing year on year and the average duel fuel bill for 2015 is predicted to be nearly £1300. Customers can save as much as £400 per year by switching energy supplier, despite this, it is estimated that 60% of households have never changed their supplier.

So why aren't people switching supplier?

These are some of the top reasons given for not switching supplier:
- Some people don't know that you can switch
- Switching is a lot of hassle it's complicated and time consuming
- Some people think it costs to switch
- Some people think their power supply will be interrupted
- I won't save any money
- My supplier hasn't raised its prices
- My home is rented

Aaron Johnson who set up SwitchChain.com said, "I believe the main reason people don't switch is fear of the unknown. It's something most people have never done, they are worried that it will be complicated and that they will have to talk to their existing supplier, which they don't".

SwitchChain.com believes that people are more likely to take notice of and believe their friends rather than big companies or the government when they say that that it really is quick and easy to change energy supplier and that they really can save £100s. People who sign up to SwitchChain.com can utilise social media such as Facebook and Twitter to spread the word and share their experiences. It is hoped that this personal approach will reach people others haven't and allow everyone to save money by switching at a time when bills are at their highest.
