4 free lightbulbs to eligible households (£3.99 for others)merged

Hello again,

Sorry forgot to add that anyone can call to see what grants and sustainable energy measures are available to them; 0800 512 012. It does depend on where you live, due to power suppliers and councils BUT a lot of people are eligible for this. Not as good as if you were on benefits, free but there you go!

There aren't any hooks or hidden bites on the behind with these schemes. To put insultingly simplistically :oas the government needs to reduce the carbon emissions the UK creates they task local authorities and the power suppliers to their bit as well. I think it works out for every customer a power supplier has they have to put about £4 into a pot of money to be used for such measures. Let's use it all!

60-65% of heat loss in the average home is lost through the walls and roof so get on and insulate and save some money. Just a suggestion for those that haven't come across this info before!!:D

theres a report in the news about these lighbulbs and regarding the disposal of them as they contain a small amount of mercury

they state if a bulb is broken/smashed that you have to vacate the room for at least 15 minutes :eek:

I just ordered over the phone as the interner form wasn't working. The lady simply took my name, address and asked what benefits I recieved. She didn't ask for any reference numbers.
