Household and business gas and electric supplier British Gas has released a warning to all Britons to be prepared for winter. The leading energy supplier is contacting mum-to-be’s to make certain their homes are ready for the cold season. A survey by Mumsnet indicated that a huge 50% of mothers questioned endured a boiler breakdown when a young child or baby was in the house; so be prepared and steer clear of a heating chaos.
The poll, that was commissioned by British Gas, revealed that one in 10 mums don’t know how to check whether their heating or hot water is working properly and in the run-up to Christmas, this is worrying. UK temperatures are set to plunge over the festive period and it will be extremely damaging to a family to be left without gas over the freezing holiday. A great tip is to get in touch with the home or business gas suppliers before hand, assuring everything is in working order.
As reported by the study, expectant parents are prioritising activities like decorating the nursery and buying baby clothes instead of important simple household assessments. The arrival of a bundle of joy is amazingly exciting but don’t lose focus on making certain that the property is suited for wintertime. For both new parents and business owners, being left without hot water and heating at this time of year can be extremely stressful. Bypass an emergency event by taking measures now such as bleeding the radiators, to evade a costly repair charge. Brits can also start the New Year by checking business gas prices to save money in 2012.
