- You may be able to get advice, help and benefits to keep your home warmer (or cooler), improve your heating or to help with bills. For more information see Citizens Advice and Winter Fuel Payments
- Have your heating and cooking appliances (including chimneys and flues) checked at least once a year by a professional engineer. Carbon monoxide is a killer. Without checking appliances and proper ventilation, carbon monoxide can build up and become very dangerous. Make sure you know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning and have a working carbon monoxide alarm. Fitting an alarm should not be used instead of regular checks of appliances.
