Groton Local and the Nashua River Watershed Association are hosting a free panel discussion on home energy audits Wednesday Feb 9, 7 PM, at NRWA's headquarters in Groton. Mike Duclos of Energy Efficiency Associates of Stow and Jim Hubert of Groton Local are among those on the panel. This is a great opportunity to get a sense of what an energy audit will do for you.

Are you interested in learning about ways to become energy efficient on the home front? Groton Local's Energy Group and the Nashua River Watershed Association (NRWA) invite the public to join us for a free panel discussion, "Home Energy Audits" on Wednesday, Feb 9th, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM at the NRWA River Resource Center at 592 Main Street (Rt. 119), in Groton.

What is a residential energy audit, and what does it cover? Can I perform one myself? Should I hire a professional, and what might that cost? Given that the price of heating fuel has fallen from record highs this summer, is it worth the effort or expense? To help answer these and related questions, a panel of experts in the field will give a general overview of the different kinds of audits followed by their individual takes on the matter, with ample time for audience questions. Included on our panel are: Mike Duclos of Energy Efficiency Associates; Tammi Lemire of Groton Electric; and Jim Hubert of Groton Local.
