About GREN

Domestic fuel prices have just risen, and  predicted to rise again by over 10% in January. Time to review options for installing renewable energy systems and for minimising energy losses and energy use at home.

DraughtBusters provides draughtproofing free of charge for those in fuel poverty, and advice to all. We're running a drop-in advice afternoon at St Barnabas on 7^th November where you can talk us about your own situation and look for independent advice. We are not associated with specific companies or technologies; each house and household has their own dynamics and needs a specific solution.

We’ll be joined by EnergySavers who can tell you about grants available, offer a free personal visit to look at your house and give advice, and can help you find a contractor for renewable energy supply.

What’s on offer?

• Advice for doing your own energy audit, and potential solutions
• At 3.00. a walk around the church hall (and church) with super DraughtBuster, Tony Cowling, to see where to look and how to assess problems, and install the solutions.
• Help in understanding and selecting renewable energy options
• Ability to talk to local people with experience of living with solar panels and heat pumps as well as using smart tariffs where electricity can be purchased cheaply, or free, at certain times of day
• Advice on reducing energy use in cooking and other domestic activities
• Advice on ventilation and condensation
• Advice on grants available
• Signing up for a free personal visit from an energy expert or, for those in fuel poverty, a free draughtproofing service.

Refreshments available as well.
