It's Fuel Poverty Awareness day today.

At WRCC we are proud to be helping by providing a place to go to with our Warm hubs, supplying resources to keep you warm over winter and signposting to the partners we work with to tackle Fuel Poverty.

We also provide energy efficiency savings via our energy buying syndicate, keeping heating costs at an affordable level. More information can be found here:

Do you need advice to know what to do if your boiler has issues in the cold weather?

Check out the video below from Cadent for support. ❄️

As the cooler weather sets in remember these tips from Cadent

❄️ As the weather gets colder, make sure your external pipework is in good condition to protect the pipes from freezing.

⚠️ A frozen boiler condensate pipe can stop your boiler working and potentially leave you without heating, cold water and unable to cook.

Our guide to what to do if your boiler stops working will help you troubleshoot any problems - see 👉🏻 www.cadentgas.com/boiler-not-working.

👉🏻As always, contact a Gas Safe Registered Engineer on 0800 408 5500 as soon as possible if you have any concerns with your boiler.
