🏠Stay Cosy This Winter! 🛌
With the chilly weather on the horizon, two major UK energy suppliers, Octopus Energy and Ovo Energy, are stepping up to help customers keep warm. They’re offering free electric blankets to those who are most vulnerable to the cold—think older individuals, people with mobility issues, and those with certain medical conditions. 🧣
Did you know using an electric blanket is way more economical than heating your whole house? They cost just 2-4p per hour, compared to approximately ÂŁ4 a day for full home heating, potentially saving up to ÂŁ300 a year on your energy bills! đź’·
To get your hands on one, you’ll need to check if you’re eligible and apply through each supplier’s specific programme. Octopus Energy’s initiative involves the Octo Assist scheme, requiring a budget setup via their Paylink tool. Meanwhile, Ovo’s support program, part of a ÂŁ56m package, offers heated throws alongside efficiency improvements.
Both companies assess applications with priority given to those who face severe financial hardships. If you’re in a better position, they encourage you to purchase these life-savers, around £60 each, to keep availability open for those who need it most.
Here’s a top tip: Octopus is also offering other supports like heat loss cameras, energy-saving advice, and even free electricity sessions during times when the cost of power drops significantly. 📉
⏰ Act fast to make sure you stay warm without breaking the bank this winter! Reach out to your energy supplier and see what support’s on offer. Let’s get through this winter with warm hearts and toasty toes! 🌟
