– and fight climate change at the same time
The Parish Council shares the concerns of residents about the big energy price hikes that are in the news – and is hoping to obtain use of a Thermal Imaging Camera to offer basic home surveys to all households in the parish.
Simple photographs from outside homes can help identify where heat is leaking out – adding to your fuel bills unnecessarily.
Common problems are walls or roofs with poor insulation – or gaps around doors and windows.
The Buriton Climate Care Group, set up by the Parish Council, is fortunate to have a group member who can carry out such surveys and help householders identify steps they need to take to reduce heat loss and bills.
And by reducing the energy you use, you’ll be helping the planet too!
The surveys can only be carried out in cold weather. The first are taking place this winter with more slots available next winter.
Places on this innovative scheme are likely to be limited initially but if you are interested in having a survey done please contact Doug Jones via doug.pam@btinternet.com There will be a small cost for the service.
