If you have elderly relatives or people who find it hard to to pay their utility bills throughout the colder months, finding them a cheap gas supplier will be one of the best deeds you could do for them.
By helping older people to cut down the price they pay for each unit of gas, you’ll make it possible for them to keep their central heating on longer during the cold spells.
Even the ablest 80-year-old is generally not able to move around as easily as they used to and this decreased mobility inevitably makes it harder to keep warm. That’s why every winter we’re all asked, on television and in the papers, to “keep an eye out out for elderly neighbours” during cold spells.
In some cases, our alertness may be the difference between life and death.
So instead of waiting till it freezes this winter, why not think ahead? Find out now where your more senior friends and family can get cheap gas, and suggest they switch supplier so that they can start making savings right away.
It’s no secret that the fastest way of comparing gas prices these days is to consult one of the specialist energy websites. You’ll be able to find out in seconds who is offering the lowest cost gas in your area and the different plans that they offer.
Ask your older family members if they’d like to lower their monthly gas bills and, if they would, write down their postcode and what they’re currently paying. You’ll also need to know their preferred method of payment. Then, when you’re online, visit a price comparison website on their behalf to check out the deals that look best for them.
Once you enter the information mentioned above, very quickly you’ll be presented with a list of all the options. Note down those that seem good value and then pass this information on to your favourite OAPs.
Just think – if you manage to cut your granny’s gas bill by finding her a cheap gas deal, she’ll not only be happy with you for cutting her costs – she’ll also be able to keep warmer this winter.
