The Green Open Homes network aims to support low-carbon open homes events across the country with free resources and advice. Stretton Climate Care is running an event over the weekend 25-26 June.

A Green Open Homes event is an opportunity to ask a neighbour about an energy saving improvement that they’ve made, and see if it might work for you. Eight households in the Strettons area who have made energy saving improvements are opening up their homes to share their experiences. Visiting a home is a great way to find out about the reality of getting solar panels, insulation, triple glazing, or new heating options without talking to a salesman. You can have a good look at the technology, ask the residents whether the installation was a hassle, and find out much they’re really saving on their energy bills as a result.
