Following the government’s recent cancellation of the annual Winter Fuel Allowance, The Burton Smith Group, a commercial and domestic plumbing and heating company based in Bedfordshire, has announced it is launching a ‘£50 Winter Efficiency Check’, aimed at helping older residents prepare for the colder months.
The initiative, designed for pensioners across LU, MK, SG, AL, HP, and NN postcode areas, seeks to ensure that their heating systems are operating at peak efficiency before winter.
The £50 Winter Efficiency Check will be conducted by The Burton Smith Group’s team of Gas Safe engineers, who will perform a thorough inspection of the heating system. As part of the service, a free Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm check will also be included to ensure the safety of the residents.
Toby Burton, Managing Director at The Burton Smith Group, said: “Our goal is to assist those affected by the cancellation of the Winter Fuel Allowance and the upcoming increase in energy costs by helping them maximise their heating systems’ efficiency.
“We want to ensure that no one is overspending on energy due to an inefficient heating system, especially during these challenging times.”
The company says that eligible pensioners in the specified postcode areas can contact The Burton Smith Group to schedule their Winter Efficiency Check at a convenient time.
