Britons may want to carry out some much-needed home improvements in order to help stave off any winter bugs and to cut their future energy bills at the same time.According to uSwitch.com, the average annual energy bill for households stands at £1,293 - an increase of £381 from the beginning of 2008.
But making a home warmer through energy efficiency can help, such as fitting at least ten inches of loft insulation, the consumer site continues.
Indeed, adults without life insurance may be only too aware that current reports claim that a flu pandemic is the largest threat to face Britain.
"Rather than waiting for suppliers to reduce prices, I would urge all householders to take action now by ensuring they are paying the lowest possible price for their energy and learning to use less of it," advises director of consumer policy at uSwitch.com Ann Robinson.
As such, taking out a plan such as level term life insurance could financially protect a family should a loved one become seriously ill.
The Department of Health recently published updated guidance for primary care trusts in the event of a new influenza virus outbreak.
