A helping hand 

We’re dedicated to keeping our customers safe and warm in their homes and understand sometimes our customers need a bit of extra support, especially those in vulnerable circumstances. The Priority Services Register (PSR) helps us identify customers who need priority support in a gas emergency or during our planned maintenance. For more details including eligibility and how to register visit our Priority Services Register information page

We will help by:

  • Wearing visible identification cards, which we will be happy to show you, and use the PSR password scheme when visiting properties (this includes our contractors)
  • Providing information in a format that works for you, such as video interaction or translation services by telephone, providing documents in other languages, large print, Easy Read, and Braille on request
  • Providing you with safety information and advice around carbon monoxide to help you stay safe in your home.
  • Providing PSR customers with alternative heating and cooking appliances when we need to interrupt your gas supply. If your gas supply is off longer, we will also provide access to hot food and hot water* after 48 hours (*during large outages, PSR customers with specific health conditions who rely on water for washing will be provided with access to hot water)
  • Providing a Care and Repair service, helping PSR customers with the costs of the repair/replacement of gas fuelled appliances and gas pipework where we are required to isolate your gas supply, following a gas emergency visit from our engineers and contractors
  • Providing a Careline Service for customers who need extra help or referring you to our free additional services through our trusted partners supporting you to use energy safely, efficiently and affordably
  • Help in assessing whether you are eligible for our Help to Heat scheme for a free or discounted new gas connection
