Last year, the Post Office processed 300,000 vouchers through its branches, with 190,000 vouchers issued in October and November alone.
Kevin Elson, Postmaster at Bache Post Office said in a statement: "We know many people are worried about the cost of their energy bills as the colder weather starts to set in. £150 can make a big difference, especially to people who are on pay-as-you-go metre.
"It's really important that people are able to access the financial support schemes that are available, such as the Warm Homes Discount.
"That's why postmasters, like me, and our teams stand ready to help and ensure that people can easily redeem their vouchers."
Postmasters and Post Office help customers access essential support, especially as rising energy bills continue to place strain on households.
The vouchers do expire, some in as little as 30 days. If the voucher is lost or expires, households can contact their supplier to have it reissued.
The Warm Home Discount Helpline number is 0800 030 9322. It provides assistance and helps customers who have received a letter regarding their eligibility.
