At British Gas we can offer lots of extra help for those who need it to make life more comfortable this winter, from insulation and energy saving tips, to a helping hand with your bills.

Smart tips for a warmer winter

  • Heating your home is easier and cheaper if it's well insulated. If you're over 70 or receiving eligible benefits we can install loft and cavity wall insulation in your home free of charge.

  • Complete a free Energy Savers Report and see how you could save.
  • Block out draughts from gaps in windows, under doors and between floors and skirting boards that let cold air in and warm air out. You can do this easily yourself using materials from your local DIY store. Block gaps around windows using draught-proof strips you push into the gap.
