# Martin Lewis Raises Alarm Over Heating Costs as Prices Surge
**Financial Expert Voices Urgent Reminder to Energy Minister**
Martin Lewis, a well-known financial advisor, recently addressed his concerns regarding heating costs to Energy Minister Ed Miliband. His warning comes amid troubling news that prices have more than doubled, creating increased financial pressure for households across the UK.
Lewis highlighted that the end of May is crucial for energy consumers, as this is the period when the new Price Cap for July to September is set to be announced. He expressed that "the end of May is likely crunch time: This is usually when the next Price Cap (July to Sept) is announced." He emphasized that a price increase seems highly probable but noted, "just how much all depends on how long lived the current energy price spike is."
In his discussion with Miliband, Lewis underscored the need for immediate and effective action to mitigate the looming financial burden on families as energy costs soar. His plea echoes broader concerns among consumers facing heightened expenses when it comes to heating their homes, especially in light of the recent price hikes.
