Cheap Gas: Help OAPS Keep Warm
If you know elderly relatives or friends who struggle to pay their gas bills throughout winter, finding them a cheap gas deal will be one of the nicest acts you could do for them.
By assisting older folk to lower the amount they pay for their gas, you’ll make it easier for them to keep their heating on for longer during the cold spells.
Even the healthiest 80-year-old is generally not able to move around as easily as they used to and this decrease in mobility inevitably makes it trickier to stay 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 snaps.
In some cases, our watchfulness can 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 OAP friends and family can find cheap gas, and suggest they switch supplier so that they can make savings right away.
It’s no secret that the fastest way of comparing gas prices these days is to check out one of the specialist energy websites. There you’ll be able to find out in moments who is offering the cheapest 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, note down their postcode and how much they’re currently paying. You’ll also need to know how they prefer to pay. Then, next time you’re online, visit a price comparison website on their behalf to look for the deals that are best for them.
Once you’ve put in the their details, within seconds you’ll be shown a comprehensive list of all the options. Take down the ones that seem best value and then share this information with your favourite older family members.
Just think - if you manage to cut your auntie’s utility bill by switching her to a cheap gas deal, she’ll not only be happy with you for cutting her costs - she’ll also be able to keep warm this winter.
