Christmas Comes Early For 4,500 Residents
Christmas is coming early for 4,500 tenants after receiving an early Christmas present from housing association, Muir Group.
The association has signed up to a scheme with energy provider EDF Energy, the green support services company eaga and the Housing Corporation to offer free energy saving light bulbs to all its residents.
Each tenant at the Muir Group's properties will receive four free energy saving light bulbs from EDF Energy. This will save tenants money on their electricity bi lls and reduce carbon emissions across Muir Group's housing stock.
The energy saving light bulbs have a life span ten times longer than a regular bulb and use 80 per cent less energy. The scheme aims to save 1.14 million tonnes of C02 over a ten year period.
Sam Scott, director of housing services at Muir Group, said: "Making our homes more energy efficient is a key priority of ours. We are delighted to be joining this scheme and, at a time of rising energy prices, we believe that this will help our residents save money
whilst also making our homes more environmentally friendly."
