How to save £140 & keep the family warm this winter.

Although the nights are still quite mild, it’s time to see if you qualify for the Warm Home Discount Scheme. If you’re on certain benefits or a low income, you may be entitled to a £140 rebate on your energy bill and it only takes 10 minutes to find out. The individual energy companies set their own rules on who qualifies and, although you have until March 31 to claim the discount, these companies have a limit on how many payouts they make in one year, so you have a better chance if you get in early.I’m always harping on about switching energy suppliers to save cash but before switching please check whether they can offer you this discount. The good news is that most of the big companies do as you can see from the list below. Click on the links to apply or give them a call today.
