An information event focusing on sustainable energy saving for home and business owners will take place on Saturday, September 23, in the Europe Direct Centre at Ballinasloe Library.
The event, taking place from 11am to 1pm and organised by Europe Direct Ballinasloe, will see expert speakers, builders and engineers from SEAI, JFW Renewables, Snughome and Unitherm on site to advise on how people can reduce energy consumption with big impact actions at reduced costs.
Attendees will also have the chance to win a free heat loss survey with thermal imaging technologies, worth up to €900.
Dr Orla Nic Suibhne of the SEAI will provide assistance with filling out retrofitting grants, and give flash presentations on home energy grants. Local solar energy firm JFW Renewables will bring along a solar PV panel to view, and provide expert advice on how to generate clean, green energy from daylight. Thermal energy assessor Dan Slevin from Snughome will reveal how a heat loss survey incorporating thermal imaging technologies can drastically reduce costs and improve energy efficiency in your home or business. If you are looking to replace your boiler, Unitherm, one of Ireland’s leading specialists in air-to-water heat pump systems, will talk you through efficient heating systems using renewable sources.
“As we prepare for the winter months ahead, it is an excellent time to think about insulating your home or installing solar PV panels on your roof to generate your own electricity,” Dr Nic Suibhne said. “SEAI have a fantastic range of home energy grants to help get you started on your retrofit journey.”
Information will also be disseminated about grants supported by the European Regional Development Fund.
