Weatherize kick-off event – Barnard

The Barnard Energy Committee is bringing two programs to town to make weatherization accessible to everyone. Everyone is invited to a Kick Off event at the Danforth Library on Monday, October 22 at 7:00 pm to learn more.

Weatherization means improving the air tightness of your home. It can lower your energy bills and make your home more comfortable.

Efficiency Vermont’s Button Up Hero program offers a free walk-through assessment of your home and an estimate prepared one of their pre-selected certified contractors. Incentives and rebates may be available to people who decide to weatherize their homes as part of this program.

Capstone Community Action offers no-cost weatherization to Vermonters in their service area — which includes Barnard — who meet income and other qualifications. Sonja Withington, a local resident who works for Capstone, will be at the Kick Off to speak about the program. She will have brochures and other information.

Mark the Kick Off on your calendar and watch the list-serv for more information. Feel free to talk to any of the organizing volunteers, who include Elizabeth Ferry, Patrick Kell, Karen Thorkilsen, and Sonja Withington. We look forward to helping Barnard weatherize!  For more information, contact Elizabeth at [email protected]
