Help Keep OAPs Warm with Cheaper Gas
If you have elderly relatives or friends who find it hard to to pay their utility bills during winter, finding them a cheap gas deal will be one of the best deeds you could do for them.
By helping older folk to lower the amount they pay for each unit of gas, you’ll make it possible for them to keep their central heating on for longer during the cold spells.
Even the ablest octogenarian is generally not able to move around as easily as they used to and this decreased mobility inevitably makes it trickier to stay warm. That’s why every winter we’re all asked, on television and in the press, to “look out for elderly neighbours” during cold snaps.
In some cases, our vigilance may be the difference between life and death.
So instead of waiting till the temperature plummets this winter, why not think ahead? Find out now where your OAP friends and family can sign up for cheap gas, and encourage them to switch supplier so that they can save money right away.
It’s well known that the quickest way of comparing gas prices these days is to consult one of the many specialist energy websites. There you’ll be able to find out in moments who’s offering the lowest cost 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 how they prefer to pay. Then, when you’re online, go to a price comparison website on their behalf to check out the deals that look best for them.
Once you enter the their details, very quickly you’ll be given a comprehensive list of all the options. Take down the ones that seem good value and then share this information with your favourite OAPs.
Just think - if you manage to cut your auntie’s gas bill by finding her a cheap gas deal, she’ll not only be happy with you for saving her money - she’ll also be able to keep warmer this winter.
