Our Priority Services Register is a free support service for people who may be vulnerable – perhaps because of their age, health or disability, or if they’re going through a difficult time in their lives. Registering helps people in all sorts of ways:

Get your bill in another format

If you need a bill in a different format, like large type, we can help you with that.

Know about power cuts in advance

If your gas or electricity is going to be stopped, your network operator will get in touch beforehand and advise you what to do. You’ll also get priority reconnection.

Peace of mind whenever we visit

When anyone pays you a visit on our behalf, we’ll always make it easy for you to identify them.

You can register if any of the following applies:

• You are over 65
• You have a disability or long-term illness
• You have a mental health illness
• You rely on medical equipment in your home
• You have a child or children under the age of five
• You are living independently for the first time

For more information, please check the ‘Priority Services Register’ section of our Ways we can help booklet.

You can register for the Priority Services Register by contacting us.

A Gas Safe registered engineer can spot problems before they become dangerous. Get appliances and flues checked once a year and sleep easier knowing you and your loved ones are safe. Please contact us on webchat to book an engineer.

Free annual gas safety checks

You may be eligible for free gas appliance checks if you are a pensioner, disabled, chronically sick or under 18; or if you live with a child under five.

Install a carbon monoxide alarm

You can’t see, smell or taste carbon monoxide. That’s why an alarm is vital. Choose one that complies with BS EN 50291-1: 2010 and shows a CE or British Standards Institute kitemark for quality assurance.

If you’re helping a loved one manage their British Gas Evolve account, here’s how you can support them:

Ask them to nominate you

If you look after a relative or loved one, they can nominate you to speak to us on their behalf.

Get a power of attorney

If you need to make decisions for a loved one, you’ll need to get a power of attorney from the government and share a copy of the grant with us. Apply for one on the government’s website.

Support for unpaid carers

We work closely with Carers UK to make sure carers are recognised, supported and valued. Click here for a helping hand.
