As we get into a second snow session of the cold snap, Newport and the rest of Wales will be engulfed in ice and snow for the next couple of days. And staying warm in this intense cold will only continue to pierce a hole in the wallets of the the elderly, the disabled, those living with a long term health condition or a family on a low income.
However, help comes in the form of the Home Heat Hotline at 0800 33 66 99.
The helpline can provide:
- Access to reduced tariffs - often called 'social tariffs' - which typically provide a 20% saving
- Grants for free home insulation – with no means testing for those over 70
- Flexible payment options for customers in fuel debt.
- Access to the Priority Service Register – which includes a free annual gas appliance safety check and passwords for official gas and electricity-related callers, and
People can call themselves or ring on behalf of a friend, relative or someone they care for.
Call 0800 33 66 99 or visit www.homeheathelpline.org.uk.
