Home Energy Workshop could help lower your bills this winter

PathStone’s energy program will be hosting an informational workshop on October 15 at 5:30 p.m. at the Ogden Town Hall. With winter just around the bend, this workshop will help explain ways residents can make their home more comfortable and energy efficient. A home energy audit can help find where the leaks are in a home, tell how efficient your furnace is, and let you know if you have enough insulation. Currently NYSERDA is offering free or reduced cost energy audits, income based grants of up to $5,000, and low interest loans to help homeowners get increased insulation, high efficiency furnaces, and other energy saving measures.

PathStone is a nonprofit that works with low and moderate income homeowners to lower their energy bills through state and local programs. They offer one on one counseling, act as a contractor liaison, and help people submit the necessary paperwork so that they can improve their homes.

These programs are available to all homeowners and landlords who get their energy through a major utility company (RG&E, NYSEG, National Grid). All are invited to attend the meeting from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, October 15 at the Ogden Town Hall, 269 Ogden Center Road to find out how to have a warmer home this winter. The workshop is free but registration is required. To register call Kim Burke at 442-2030 ext. 213 or send an email to kburke@pathstone.org.
