Eco-renovation tours
Monday 17th August, 6pm-9pm
Ashgate and Stonegravels
Join us for a tour of two ordinary houses in Chesterfield to pick up loads of ideas and information on how to save energy, cut your fuel bills and eco-renovate your home. 
 
The audits will include ideas and information on:
- heating systems, insulation, appliances, draught-proofing, renewable energy and more
 - likely costs, carbon savings, and payback times
 - products, suppliers, installers and DIY options
 
We'll be visiting two different houses that are fairly typical of housing stock in Chesterfield, so at least one of them is likely to be similar in some way to your house. We will audit a 1928 semi-detached house with cavity walls, on Ashgate Road, and an 1890s mid-terrace house near Chesterfield College. We'll also have a bite to eat in between the two tours, and opportunity for you to ask Nick any questions about your own home.
 
We're limiting the numbers to 10 people on the tour, so that everyone can see and hear and get a chance to ask questions.
 
Booking is essential - to secure your place now, call Jessie on 01246 234899 or email jessiemarcham[at]pasturesgreen.me.uk.
