Transition Town Kingston

Local residents who have improved the energy-efficiency of their homes and reduced their energy bills will open their homes to visitors interested in doing the same, answer their questions, and dispel some of the misinformation around. Do you really have to change all your radiators when you install a heat-pump? Does insulation make your house hotter in summer? Would you like to hear what a heat-pump sounds like? Do solar panels only work in the summer? Is a battery worth installing? How do you ventilate your house without wasting heat? Is it possible to grow flowers and edibles in a nature-friendly way? Would you like to talk to a householder who isn’t trying to sell you something?

Plans for the weekend currently include 3 houses of different styles and vintages in different parts of Kingston; offers to show other energy-efficient homes welcome – please contact Peter.

More details and how to book on Eventbrite will be publicised nearer the time.
