Insurance firm launches new energy saving campaign

Solihull based insurance firm A-Plan has launched a new campaign to tackle energy bills which would save almost £400,000.

With the Energy Bills Support scheme ending in March, focus is back on how to balance the household and business 'books ' to compensate for the price increases in energy, petrol and diesel, mortgage rates, food prices and so on.

A-Plan has devised a simple campaign that illustrates how even the smallest of changes can save a fortune - whether it 's energy usage, better driving, supermarkets or mobile phone contracts.

They are giving away 10,000 Status energy saving bayonet lightbulbs - and a free handy cost-of-living booklet - filled with handy tips and ideas to help manage the cost of living this year. Clients that visit their local A-Plan branch will be able to pick up their pack of light bulbs and booklet - free of charge.

Based on everyday use, each recipient of two energy rated A+ Status 9W LED (equivalent to a 60W) bayonet bulbs can benefit by over £100 a year in energy savings.

A-Plan 's Nikki Kyriacou commented: “We know that so many of our clients are concerned about the cost of energy bills and we want to show them that we are sensitive to that right now. While the government support goes some way to help people until the end of March, we don 't yet know what 's coming.

“We wanted to do something to help, so have joined forces with some of our insurance partners and one hundred of A-Plan 's high street branches across the UK to give away 10,000 Status 9W LED bayonet lightbulbs - saving a combined £387,192* in energy usage in total.

“We are encouraging all our clients to consider how making small changes can return big results - and start to save energy from the moment the bulbs are used. ”
