Fun for the Whole Family!

Thursday, September 12, 2024
3:00-7:00pm
El Espacio, 105 Congress Street

My home is too hot in the summer, too cold in the winter, drafty and uncomfortable. Will new windows really solve those problems? How can I save energy and money while making my home more comfortable? When was the last time I had a home energy assessment? I want to look into solar panels, heat pumps, and electric vehicles – where do I start?

If you have asked yourself any of these questions, we have the answers at the Salem Energy Fair! Renters, homeowners, and landlords are welcome and encouraged to come and learn about these topics and more. Whatever your income level, we have something for you.
