With winter on the way, local Assembly Member Paul Davies is calling on his constituents to ensure they are taking advantage of free help and support with energy bills.
Mr Davies said: “There are a range of actions that people should take to make sure they’re doing all they can to keep their bills down and their homes warm this winter. I’d urge people to ensure that their drains are maintained, their radiators are bled properly and that windows and doors are sealed properly to stop warm air escaping. These are just a few actions that can help save heat and money over the coming months.”
Lynda Campbell, Regional Director of British Gas, Wales, said: “Winter can be a challenging time for households and many people will be concerned about their winter energy bill. There is help available and we urge customers to get in touch to find out what advice and support is on offer.
“In the long term, energy efficiency is still the best way to save money on bills. British Gas is pleased to be working with the UK Government to roll out free loft and cavity wall insulation for eligible households, and you don’t need to be a British Gas customer to sign up. We’re also proud to be leading the way in the roll-out of smart meters which enable you to see how much energy you are using in pounds and pence and identify where savings can be made.”
