DREMC hosts spring DIY Workshops for energy efficiency improvements

Duck River EMC is hosting six free workshops in March to teach members how to make their homes more energy efficient and get the most from their energy dollars. At this time, all workshops are filled except the Sewanee event on March 22.

As part of DREMC’s efforts to inform members about energy efficiency, the workshops offer valuable advice, eye-opening facts about energy savings and hands-on experience in learning how to caulk around air leaks in the home. The workshop also includes time for members’ questions to assist with specific energy efficiency concerns in their homes.

Reservations are required for the workshops. Each household will receive a free energy improvement starter kit, which includes caulk, outlet and light switch insulation gaskets and weather stripping, and a light supper will be served.

“With just a few simple energy-efficiency improvements, you can start saving energy and reducing your monthly energy cost while creating a more comfortable home,” says DREMC Residential Energy Advisor Pat Garrett.

DREMC’s Do-It-Yourself Energy Efficiency Workshop dates, times and locations are listed at right.
