Free Home Energy Assessments for Beaverbrook Homes
Sustain Beaverbrook and EnviroCentre are seeking ten homeowners in Beaverbrook who would like a free Home Energy Assessment valued at $350. The assessment will help you find the most cost-effective ways to save money, improve home comfort, and minimize the impact on the environment. We are seeking a variety of home models that have not previously had an assessment. The results for each model will be shared on the Sustain Beaverbrook website to encourage peer-to-peer learning. (All identifying information will be removed.) More information and application forms are available on the Sustain Beaverbrook and are due June 15th.
