Energy efficient Open House now open for all

The Winter Warmth Club scheme run by Bath & North East Somerset Council is providing an Open House for people to learn more about saving energy in their homes and reducing their fuel bills.
The Open House, which is being provided by Curo Group for the month, coincides with Bath Green Homes 2013. Energy saving experts will be on hand to provide top tips on:
  • Setting central heating controls efficiently;
  • Practical measures to address condensation and damp;
  • Low energy lighting options;
  • Taking accurate meter readings;
  • Picking the right insulation and right appliance for your home to save energy and money.
Anybody can drop-in to 56, The Hollow, Twerton, BA2 1LZ on Tuesdays from 3pm – 7pm, and Wednesday to Saturday, 10am – 2pm, from 12th March 2013 to 14th April. The Open House will also be open on both Saturday and Sunday the 13th and 14th April for Green Homes weekend.

 The Open House is available to anyone wanting to take practical steps to stay warm, cut their bills, and reduce their carbon footprint. Bath & North East Somerset Council has received a very positive response to the Winter Warmth Club so far, and the Open House will build upon this success by being proactive about warmth awareness in the heart of a local community.

The project is managed on behalf of the Council by the Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE) in partnership with West of England Care and Repair, British Red Cross, Age UK and social housing provider Curo.
