If you know elderly relatives or people who find it hard to to pay their utility bills throughout winter, finding them a cheap gas supplier will be one of the nicest things you could do for them.
By helping older family members to cut the amount they pay for each unit of gas, you’ll make it possible for them to keep their heating on more during the cold spells.
Even the healthiest octogenarian is generally not able to move around as easily as they used to and this increased immobility inevitably makes it trickier to stay warm. That’s why every winter we’re all urged, on TV and in the press, to “keep an eye out out for elderly neighbours” during cold snaps.
In some cases, our vigilance can be the difference between life and death.
So instead of waiting till it gets freezing cold this winter, why not be a step ahead of Jack Frost? Find out now where your more senior friends and family can source cheap gas, and suggest they switch supplier so that they can save money right away.
It’s no secret that the fastest way of comparing prices these days is to check out one of the specialist energy websites. There you’ll be able to find out in no time who’s offering the cheapest gas in your area and the various plans that they offer.
Ask your older friends if they’d like to lower their monthly gas bills and, if they would, write down their postcode and how much they’re currently paying. You’ll also need to know their preferred method of payment. Then, when you’re online, go to a price comparison website on their behalf to look for the deals that are best for them.
Once you enter the information listed above, within seconds you’ll be offered a list of all the options. Jot down the ones that seem best value and then share this information with your favourite older family members.
Just suppose - if you manage to cut your granny’s gas bill by switching her to a cheap gas supplier, she’ll not only be delighted with you for cutting her costs - she’ll also be able to keep warmer this winter.
