What Clients Need to Know

If you’ve worked with Bauer Insurance, you may have heard the news: Bauer Insurance is now part of Crunelle Insurance.

Whenever there’s a change involving something as important as your insurance, it’s natural to have questions. 

My goal with this message is simple — to make everything clear and reassure you that your protection remains our top priority.

First and most importantly:

Your policies remain active and unchanged.
No action is required on your part.

A Natural Fit Between Two Local Agencies

Bauer Insurance and Crunelle Insurance share the same foundation: personal service, trust, and strong ties to our Central Ohio community.

Crunelle Insurance has been family-owned and serving this area since 1970. We’ve always believed insurance should feel personal — not transactional. 

When the opportunity arose to welcome Bauer clients into our agency, it felt like a natural fit built on shared values and long-standing relationships.

This transition ensures continuity of care while expanding the support available to you.

What’s Staying the Same

Let me be very clear about this — the things that matter most are not changing.

• Your current policies remain active.
• Your coverage remains the same unless you request changes.
• Your premiums remain unchanged unless your carrier adjusts them at renewal (as usual).
• Jeff continues as your Advisor.
• Mike remains involved during the transition to ensure everything runs smoothly.

The people you trust are still here.

What’s Expanding

The only real change is additional support.

By joining Crunelle Insurance, you now have:

• Access to our full team of advisors and support staff
• Expanded service resources
• A larger, family-owned agency backing your coverage
• A Central Ohio office based in Lewis Center

In short, you’re not losing anything — you’re gaining the strength of a broader team while maintaining the relationships you’ve built.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to do anything?

No. Your policies continue automatically under Crunelle Insurance.

Is my coverage changing?

No changes will be made unless you request them or we review your policy together.

Will my premiums change?

Your premiums stay the same unless your insurance carrier adjusts them at renewal, which is standard practice.

Who do I contact going forward?

You can still reach Jeff for anything you need. Mike will also remain available during the transition. And our full Crunelle team is here to help anytime.

How do I make a payment or file a claim?

Continue using your carrier’s website as usual, or contact our office and we’ll gladly assist you.

Where is Crunelle Insurance located?

We are based in Lewis Center, Ohio, proudly serving families and businesses throughout Central Ohio.

What’s actually changing?

Your service is expanding — not your coverage. You’re simply gaining additional support from a larger family-owned agency.

A Personal Note

Transitions like this are about trust. I don’t take that lightly.

For decades, Bauer Insurance clients have trusted Jeff and Mike to help protect what matters most. That trust continues. Our role at Crunelle Insurance is to support that relationship, provide additional resources, and ensure you always have someone available when you need help.

If you ever have a question — about your policy, a claim, or simply peace of mind — we’re here.

We’re honored to continue serving you.

Warmly,
Jonathan Crunelle
President, Crunelle Insurance
