How to Save on Your Energy Bills This Winter 

Winter’s here—and so are rising bills. But for NHS and healthcare workers, help’s at hand. From cheaper energy tariffs to cashback at ASDA and IKEA, Health Service Discounts helps your pay go further this season. Real savings, real quick—because you deserve every penny of peace of mind.

Winter’s coming, and unfortunately, so are higher energy bills. From 1 October 2025, the energy price cap rose by 2%, hitting £1,755 per year for a typical household. That’s extra pressure on your already busy life—but here’s the good news: you don’t have to put up with it. 

At Health Service Discounts, we help NHS and healthcare workers make every pound go further. From switching to a cheaper energy tariff to using your Cashback Card at ASDA or IKEA, there are practical ways to save money—and stress—this season. 

1. Tackle Energy Costs Without the Headache 

Rising bills don’t mean you’re stuck. Compare deals, switch to a fixed-rate plan, or explore discounted variable tariffs. Doing this could save hundreds each year—and you won’t have to change your daily routine. 

Pro tip: Look for tariffs that reward smart usage or off-peak electricity, especially if you have an electric vehicle or heat pump.

2. Cashback and Everyday Rewards 

Your HSD ode cashback card isn’t just a card—it’s a way to get instant savings at top retailers like Sainsbury’s, ASDA, IKEA, and more. Every shop you do for essentials could be putting money back in your pocket. 

Extra value: Pair the card with your usual shopping—groceries, home essentials, winter clothes refresh—and watch those savings add up.
