Energy Advice
Cosy Kingdom remains open until Friday 19th December. This is a busy period for our energy advisors, so we recommend asking for advice as soon as possible. If you need urgent energy advice you can contact Home Energy Scotland, who will also be open on a number of days during the holidays. You can find their festive opening times online. If you need further assistance, please contact your energy supplier.
Emergencies
In a power cut, call 105 for help and advice from your local energy network operator.
If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak, call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999.
Prepayment credit
If you have run out of credit on your prepayment meter and are unable to top it up you can contact your energy supplier for help. Let them know you have run out of credit and when you will be able to top up your credit.
Make your supplier aware of any vulnerable people in the house, this includes young children, older people and people with disabilities. Your supplier may be able to help with discretionary credit. This is usually in the form of a loan that you pay back at an affordable weekly rate.
Support may be available from Fife Council’s Community Support Helpline. Fife Council tenants should contact their housing officer in the first instance. If you need support from the helpline, please call 0800 952 0330.
