Get the help and
support you need from your Gas, Electricity or Water Supplier with Priority
Services Registers - FREE
A Priority Services Register is a free scheme offered by your
gas, electricity and water suppliers. Once you register you can receive additional
support and services from your suppliers tailored to your needs, many free.
Who can join the free
Priority Services Registers?
You qualify if you are:
of pensionable age; disabled; chronically sick; blind or partially sighted;
deaf or hearing impaired.
If your supplier knows you have health issues or essential
medical equipment in your home you will be prioritised in the event of a break
to your supply.
How else can your
supplier help you?
The exact services vary depending on the supplier, but may include
the following services:-
- advance notice or priority re-connection if your supply is interrupted
- alternative facilities for cooking and
heating if your supply is interrupted
- bills sent to a relative, carer or
friend
- a free quarterly meter reading
- annual gas safety checks
- advice on energy-efficiency
- protection from cold callers with a
password protection scheme
- your bills and meter readings in
braille, large print, audio tape, textphone or typetalk if you’re visually
impaired
For some of the above, customers may need to be means
tested.
