Avon Forum To Help Folks Save On Home Energy Costs

AVON, CT — The high cost of energy, whether it is heating or powering your home, has been a campaign issue this fall as the temperatures cool.

The Avon Clean Energy Commission is hosting a forum to, not only combat energy waste but do so in an environmentally friendly way.

Commission members on Wednesday, Oct. 30, are hosting a special information forum at the Avon Free Public Library, 281 Country Club Road, Avon, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The free forum will help guests learn about how their energy bills are compiled and how they can save money in the process.

One way to do that is to participate in the Energize CT Home Energy Solutions Program, which will be discussed at the Oct. 30 forum.

The Town of Avon, through the Avon Clean Energy Commission, has teamed up with New England Smart Energy (NESE) to encourage residents to participate.

Residents can sign up with NESE, an authorized contractor, to perform home energy assessments and follow-up weatherization, according to event organizers.

The goal is for folks to reduce energy consumption, save money, and improve the health, safety, and comfort of one's home, officials said.

The commission has set a goal of registering 100 households to participate over the next 12 months.
